Start your weekend off right with a wine and beer tasting in Winnetka that has a little something for everyone. Then, spend your Saturday at Westfield Old Orchard discovering the hottest looks for spring or prom.
On Sunday, stop by a community fair that’s all about going green before seeing a new adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” or a show by an a cappella group that will get you on your feet.
Wine and Beer Tasting
We love this annual event at the Winnetka Community House because the evening can be enjoyed by everyone, even if you prefer wine over beer (or vice versa). You can also enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cheese and desserts while you try your luck in the raffle.
