We are excited to invite you to our upcoming A night of W**e & Wickedness- an evening of w**e tasting, networking, fundraising and a little supervillain mischief!

Date: Wednesday, November 04, 2026
Time: 5:00 pm- 8:00pm
Location: 524 Tenth Avenue SW (east building)
Ticket pricing: $100 Per person
To purchase tickets, please contact: Ashley Gallant ([email protected])

This year we are putting a wicked twist on our annual w**e tasting with a Supervillain theme. Guests are encouraged to embrace their villainous side and come up with their own insurance industry inspired supervillain identity.
For our charity this year, we are proud to be fundraising in support of Make-A-Wish, helping create life changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. (more information to come)

Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of w**e tasting stations along with wh**ky tasting and craft b**r stations, hosted by Cork Fine W**es!

We need some villainous allies!
We are currently looking for companies and individuals who would like to support the evening by donating door prizes. Gift cards, gift baskets, company merchandise, w**e related gifts, or other creative donations would all be greatly appreciated. We are also looking for sponsors to help with the food, desserts, or to sponsor a w**e or spirits table in their name. Please reach out to Ashley Gallant ([email protected]) or Dominique Mellafont ([email protected]) if you are interested in either opportunity.

Gather your fellow villains, choose your secret identity and join us for an evening of W**e and Wickedness, because even the insurance industry’s most notorious villains can come together to do some good.

We look forward to seeing you November 4th!
