Medill Alumni Club of Chicago Invites You to Our Annual Spring Fling!

Medill Alumni Club of Chicago Invites You to Our Annual Spring Fling!

Join us for an elegant wine tasting event at The Tasting Room on May 13.

Mingle with other local alumni while you enjoy fine wines and scrumptious appetizers against the backdrop of stunning views of the Chicago skyline. We’ll have an experienced sommelier on hand to guide us through a tasting of red, white and sparkling wines. The event is sure to be a great opportunity to network, reconnect with former classmates, and enjoy great wines and the spectacular city view at one of Chicago’s top wine bars.

Space is limited, and this event will sell out. Be sure to RSVP to secure your spot. Admission price includes unlimited wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks for two hours, as well as hand-passed hors d’oeuvres and cheese and charcuterie platters. The bar will remain open after the event ends for alumni who wish to continue the party!
