Toast to the autumn season in true Italian-style: with a glass (or more) of wine in hand!
As the days grow shorter, farmers and artisans alike work tirelessly to fill our plates and our glasses with the riches that their land has to offer. From the olive and grape harvests in Italy to apple picking and corn mazes in New England farms, now is the time of the great harvest.
In honor of the bounty of food and drinks fall brings us, Eataly Boston is celebrating the season with a Fall Wine & Cheese Fest. On September 26, from 5:30-9:00 p.m., gather your friends and join Eataly Boston for a celebration of all things autumn.
For just $60, you will receive an all-access pass to explore all cheeses and cheese-centric bites, along with a wide selection of Italian wines. Let yourself get lost as you explore the food stations throughout marketplace, tasting and sipping as you go.
Tickets are limited, so choose the time that works best for you and reserve your spot at the Fall Wine & Cheese Fest! Tickets are available for 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm or 7 pm to 9 pm. PLUS, 15% off tickets with code FallFest15 at check-out!
Oktoberfest offers so much to celebrate—beer, Bavarian culture and autumn in New England.
The evening starts with a flight of local Oktoberfest beer on OAK Long Bar + Kitchen’s patio (weather permitting) before moving inside to indulge in traditional German fare. Specially selected German wine pairings will accompany each course for a versatile taste of the country. Prost!
The five course dinner is part of Fairmont Copley Plaza’s popular 140 Supper Club series where guests descend a century-old staircase and whisper a password to be immersed into a themed, intimate dining experience hosted by Executive Chef Laurent Poulain.
