WILDWOOD WINE AND FOOD FESTIVAL

Wine flows, food rolls in for gardens, art education

More than 100 wines were available for tasting along with samples from restaurants on April 15 at Wildwood Park Wine and Food Festival.

The north and south lobbies and backstage were filled with a mix of tables of wine provided by Glazer's and central Arkansas restaurants serving up their specialties.

Silent auction items were in the front lobby and entertainment onstage in the Cabe Theater alternated between Rodney Block and his band and the Itinerant Locals. Guests could also participate in a wine pull and photo booth with wine-theme props. Beer was available in the outdoor pavilion.

Participating restaurants included Bar Louie, Bistro Catering, Blue Cake, Bonefish Grill, Bravo! Cucina Italiana, Cache, Chenal Country Club, Kent Walker Artisan Cheese, The Lemon Cakery, One Eleven at The Capital Hotel, SO and Southern Gourmasian. The fundraiser benefits the botanical gardens and arts education at the park including Wildwood Academy of Music and the Arts.
