Three Blind Vines is an annual wine tasting event presented by The Next Generation Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County. This party for a purpose continues to give all wine lovers, from a boxed wine enthusiast to a fine wine aficionado, the opportunity to taste different French varietals while benefiting a great cause: the Franklin Theatre.
Cost is $30/person ($40 at the door) plus 3 bottles of wine per team of 1-3 people (One bottle of French red, one bottle of French white, and a repeat of either). Admission includes entertainment, food from your favorite local restaurants & chefs and a cleansing bottle of water. The extremely popular Silent Auction will be back this year, as will the cash bar for beer lovers.
Check in begins at 6:00 p.m. and will go until 7:00 p.m. at which time no more wine will be accepted. Teams of 1-3 people will bring three bottles of their favorite French wines: one red, one white, and a third bottle of one of the two. The first two bottles will be collected, disguised, and set out for tasting and voting. The third bottle is set aside unopened to be given to two Grand Prize winners.
From 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. tasting and voting takes place. Grab a few different bottles and take them back to your table. Taste and make notes on the space provided in your program and then pass the bottles along to the next table so everyone has a chance to enjoy!
A silent auction takes place from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and the bid winners are announced at 9:00 p.m. along with the two Grand Prize winners each splitting the vault of all of the unopened third bottles. Second and third place winners will also receive a prize to be announced at the event!
