2010 Wine & Roses Festival

Since its creation in 1994, the Big Sioux Chapter's "Wine & Roses Festival" has become not only a tradition, but also one of the most well attended philanthropic fundraisers in Siouxland.  The event has grown from a one evening wine tasting, to a weekend-long event.  It is attended by a variety of people, from the serious wine aficionados to the hobbyists to the loyal Alzheimer's Association patrons, and finally to those few who just knew it would be one of the best parties of the year.

The proceeds of the event are used to support the programs of the Big Sioux Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association including our Adult Day Center, 24/7 Helpline, community and family education and research library.

The Festival has most recently been broken down into three separate events throughout the weekend:

A Time to Remember - Held at the Le Mars Country Club, this intimate evening featuring a sumptuous menu of steak dinner, complimented by select wines, spent in the company of the winemakers.

Winemaker's Dinner - Held at the Marina Inn in South Sioux City, NE, this exquisite menu consists of a six course meal and is complemented by several wines personally selected and explained by the winemakers in attendance.  This is sure to be a memorable evening.

A Night of Wine & Roses - The festival's signature event, held at the Marina Conference Center, South Sioux City, NE, gives the attendee an opportunity to taste a variety of wines from the participating vineyards.  An array of non-alcoholic wine and gourmet coffees is available as well.  All beverages are complemented by delicious hors d'oeuvres.  The evening is capped with both a live and silent auction where attendees will have the chance to bid on various wine treasures from some of the finest wine cellars in Siouxland as well as other items from a variety of supporters.
