On Saturday, September 18 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the Ellwood House Museum will host its annual fall fundraiser, Wine on the Terrace. This outdoor event is generously sponsored by Resource Bank.

The Ellwood House terraces and gardens offer a picturesque setting for an evening of fine wine, unique appetizers, desserts, and live music. There will even be a few craft brews available this year.

The wines and craft beer will be selected by the Wine and Spirits department at Hy-Vee, with Hy-Vee Catering providing tasty appetizers and desserts. Live music will be provided by classical guitarist, Quentin Dover. The evening will also feature a raffle of stylish offerings and gift certificates.

Wine on the Terrace is sponsored by Resource Bank, Ron Klein, Sharp Architects, Thecla & Richard Cooler, Northern Rehab Physical Therapy Specialists, Douglas C. & Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation, Ameriprise Financial, and Edward Jones on behalf of Ryan D. Genz.

Tickets are now on sale for $50 and should be purchased in advance online at ellwoodhouse.org, in-person in the Ellwood House Museum Visitor Center, or in-person in the Sycamore Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits Department. Don’t miss this great opportunity to experience wonderful food and wine in the incomparable setting of the Ellwood House Museum and Park.

Due to COVID-19, the Visitor Center will not be used for bad weather backup. In case of inclement weather or new COVID mandates, the event may be rescheduled. Refunds will be available to ticket holders. Continue to check ellwoodhouse.org for news and to purchase your tickets. Appetizers will be available in a manner of different ways: Hy-Vee staff will serve appetizers on trays, provide a boxed option for meats and cheeses, and have several self-serve stations of individual foods in their own cups. Tables and chairs will be spread out on the grounds for everyone’s comfort. The event is hosted outdoors on the terraces and walkways around the mansion.
