Eating & Drinking

📌 **What** Join us for an **“Around the World” lunch in the park** — a relaxed international food exchange where everyone brings a small dish from their country to share 🌍🍴. The idea is simple: we meet in a park, lay out a few big blankets, and create a mini **international picnic buffet** together. It’s a great way to discover new foods, share traditions, and meet people from all over the world in a casual and friendly atmosphere. **How it works:** Meet around **12:30** in the parco sempione. Everyone brings **one typical food from their country** to share with the group — homemade or store-bought, both are perfectly fine. Feel free to also bring **a small card or note with the name of the dish and ingredients**, especially if there are allergens. We’ll also need **2–3 people to bring big blankets** so we can sit comfortably together. ❗️The Meetup team won’t be there, so please use the **[WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)**[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)to find the exact meeting spot and coordinate what people are bringing. 📌 **Who** Expats, locals, students, travelers — anyone who enjoys **international food, cultural exchange, and meeting new people**. You don’t need to be a chef — **the goal is sharing and discovering**, not perfection. 📌 **How** * **RSVP** to join the event * **Join the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)** — important to coordinate dishes and find the group * Bring **a typical dish from your country** to share * Bring **a blanket, drinks, plates, or cups** * *(Please please please)* keep your **RSVP on Meetup updated** 🫶

Golden Hour Aperitivo - C’è quel momento della giornata in cui la luce diventa perfetta, l’aria più leggera e tutto sembra rallentare un po’. È lì che ci troviamo. Vi proponiamo un evento pre-serale, un aperitivo tra chiacchiere, musica in sottofondo e calici per tutti mentre il sole scende. È il modo giusto per iniziare la serata, senza fretta: un pre-serata rilassato, prima di uscire, o restare per chi ha piacere. Da bere ci sarà spritz libero per tutti o in alternativa prosecco 🧡, mentre da mangiare ci saranno snack per accompagnare il drink senza appesantire, così chi si è già organizzato per la cena o per una serata nei locali potrà comunque unire i due eventi. Attenzione: non ci sarà quindi il solito buffet che avete sempre trovato nelle serate precedenti!!🥂 Alcune informazioni: - Se non ci saranno abbastanza partecipanti, l’evento verrà riprogrammato in una data successiva. - Se l’evento raggiunge il numero massimo di partecipanti, non sarà purtroppo possibile accettare nuove richieste di partecipazione. - Se avete allergie o intolleranze, come sempre fatelo presente. - Se l'evento venisse annullato, avrete il rimborso dell'intero importo. - l'indirizzo preciso sarà comunicato ai partecipanti il giorno dell'evento: zona MM1 (linea rossa) Milano ovest Vi aspetto! Golden Hour Aperitivo – There’s that moment of the day when the light becomes perfect, the air feels lighter, and everything seems to slow down a bit. That’s where you’ll find us. We’re hosting a pre-evening event: an aperitivo with chats, background music, and glasses for everyone as the sun goes down. It’s the perfect way to start the evening, unhurried: a relaxed pre-night gathering before heading out, or staying longer if you feel like it. To drink, there will be unlimited spritz for everyone or, alternatively, prosecco 🧡. As for food, there will be light snacks to accompany your drink without weighing you down, so those who already have dinner plans or a night out can easily combine both. Please note: there will not be the usual buffet you may have found at previous events!! 🥂 Some information: If there are not enough participants, the event will be rescheduled to a later date. If the event reaches maximum capacity, unfortunately we won’t be able to accept additional requests. If you have allergies or intolerances, please let us know as usual. If the event is canceled, you will receive a full refund of the amount paid. The exact address will be communicated to participants on the day of the event. Area Metro 1 (red line) West Milan Looking forward to seeing you!

The party room (our private space) will be decorated with both patios open! Adjoining upstairs area also open for over flow and mingling. **After Party:** Sometimes, we head to a venue to hear live music afterwards. LDNL is at Black Swan in Hilliard tonight! Wear your bright colors and cheerful !Salud!

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
