** Northern Italian Wine Tasting**
Discover Northern Italy's most famous wine regions — from Piedmont to the Veneto — in a casual walk-around tasting.
Charcuterie will be provided.
I have not been to this Binny’s location before, so I’m not 100% sure how they run their tastings. If it’s like other Binny’s events, it should be informal and easygoing.
You must register if you plan to taste wine ($10).
Registration is not required if you just want to come socialize.

️ About the Location
This Lakeview store occupies the historic site of the former Ivanhoe Theatre, a classic neighborhood movie palace that once served as a major entertainment venue in the area.

Today, Binny’s continues that tradition as a lively gathering place — now dedicated to wine, spirits, and beer. The large open interior makes it ideal for tastings and special events.

Binny's Beverage Depot is one of the Midwest’s best-known wine and spirits retailers, famous for knowledgeable staff, extensive selections, and frequent in-store tastings.

Often there are special discounts on featured wines during tastings, plus additional store sales.
