Corning’s Gaffer District is pleased to announce the 12th annual Cabin Fever wine and beer tasting event on Friday, March 13 from 5-8pm. Running one night only, the event features award-winning wines found only throughout New York’s Finger Lakes Wine Country. In addition to world class wine, event participants will also taste local and craft brews from throughout the celebrated Finger Lakes region.
The cost to participate is $15 per person and includes collectible wine and beer glasses, along with unlimited tastings throughout the district.
“We are pleased to host Cabin Fever in our downtown,” said Coleen Fabrizi, Executive Director of Corning’s Gaffer District. “Not only is it an excellent way to taste some of the best wine and beer the region has to offer, it’s also a great way to explore the variety of great businesses we offer with friends and family.”
The Gaffer District is also proud to announce the return of the Drink Responsibly Designated Driver Appreciation Program, sponsored by Bottles & Corks. The program promotes responsible consumption, and encourages everyone to enjoy the event with a designated driver.
“We’re very proud to sponsor the designated driver program again,” said Mary Beth Maxa, owner of Bottles & Corks. “We want people to know that they can enjoy themselves and have as much fun as they want, while still being responsible and promoting safety throughout the community.”
Select businesses in the Gaffer District will offer free, non-alcoholic drinks, and other tokens of appreciation to designated drivers during the wine and craft beer tasting event.
Those wishing to participate in the wine and beer tasting may check in beginning at 5pm at one of three check-in locations: The Information Center of Corning, Radisson Hotel Corning and Lando’s Hotel and Lounge. A complimentary shuttle will run between Market St. and Bridge St., with stops in front of Lando’s, Tony R’s and the Corner of Market and Wall St.
