Enjoy a 5-course Italian dinner crafted by Touch of Italy, each dish thoughtfully paired with exquisite Italian wines and guided by nationally recognized Laurie Forster, The Wine Coach®. With her signature wit and expertise as a sommelier, Laurie will show you how to fall in love with wine all over again—teaching not just how to drink it, but how to savor its character, chemistry, and connection with food.

Bottles of these specially curated wines will be available for purchase at the end of the evening.
Throughout the evening, masterpieces will be unveiled—each work of art thoughtfully paired with a featured wine to highlight how artistic expression and wine can beautifully complement one another. Guests will then have the opportunity to purchase these inspired pairings at the end of the evening, with proceeds supporting the Art League of Ocean City and its mission to nurture creativity in our community.
