Let’s Un-Cork the Fun: Creative Ways to Integrate Wine into Your Longest Table Event! 🍷✨
Who says fundraising can’t be fun? With a little creativity and a splash of wine, your Longest Table event can go from great to grape!
Whether you’re looking to add some pizzazz to your gathering or raise more funds for cancer research, we’ve got a bunch of wine-tastic ideas that will have your guests cheers-ing all night long!
Ready to pour some extra fun into your event? Let’s dive in!
1. Wine Wall: The Ultimate Mystery Sip
Let’s start with a crowd favourite — the wine wall! Imagine rows of beautifully wrapped wine bottles, each one concealing a mystery that your guests will love to unravel.
They’ll pay a set donation for the chance to pick a bottle, but the twist? They won’t know which bottle they’re picking until they unwrap it! Talk about a grape surprise!
2. Wine & Cheese Night: A Match Made in Heaven! 🧀
What’s better than wine? Wine and cheese, of course! 🍷🧀 Host a great (or, rather grape!) wine and cheese night that’s perfect for mingling and fundraising.
You can curate a selection of wines, each paired with a unique cheese — from soft brie to sharp cheddar, and everything in between.
Charge a donation for guests to participate in the pairing experience, and watch as your guests indulge in the delicious duo while supporting a great cause.
Bonus points if you throw in a few wine-themed games (how about a "Guess the Wine" challenge?). It’s an unforgettable experience that will have your guests coming back for more!
3. Wine Tasting: Sip, Savor, and Support!
Who doesn’t love a good wine tasting? 🍇 Create a wine-tasting adventure at your event where guests can sip, savour, and explore a variety of wines.
Curate a diverse selection (reach out to our friends at Hither and Yon to get their advice on the perfect drop!), from reds to whites, and maybe even a little sparkling action for extra pizzazz!
Guests can purchase a tasting flight for a set donation, and you can even make it a competition by asking them to vote on their favourites— all while raising awareness and funds for cancer research.
You’ll be sure to pour in some serious fundraising for your cause!
4. Auction a Rare Bottle: The Ultimate Sip for Cancer Research!
If you’ve got a vintage bottle of wine in your collection, why not auction it off to help #ForkCancer? 🥂
A high-end bottle of wine can bring in some serious bids, and it’s an exciting way to get your guests involved in some edge-of-your-seat fundraising.
Let them bid for a chance to take home a collector’s item, all while raising valuable funds for cancer research.
Plus, there’s always the thrill of watching the bids climb — it’s like an extra cheers to the cause!
5. Add Wine to the Raffle: A Grape Prize for a Great Cause!
Another great way to bring wine into your event is by adding a bottle (or a wine-themed basket) to your raffle. ️🍷
Everyone loves a good raffle, and when you throw in the allure of a delicious bottle of wine (maybe a rare vintage or a gift pack from Hither & Yon?), your raffle tickets will be flying off the table.
The excitement of winning a bottle of wine is the cherry on top of a fun evening — and all the proceeds go toward your fundraising goal.
6. Wine-Fueled Games: Sip & Compete!
Who doesn’t love a good game? Add a little friendly competition to your event with wine-themed games! Think a Guess the Grape game to get your guests thinking about what’s in their glass, to toss the ring on the bottle, or even a wine label drawing competition.
Charge a small donation to participate, and add a prize for the winners — a bottle of wine from your Wine Wall, perhaps? It’s a great way to get guests involved, have some laughs, and keep the wine flowing, all while raising funds for cancer research!
