Wine with Swine Palace

LSU’s Swine Palace will host a Wine Gala Thursday at the Reilly Theatre to benefit the theatre’s upcoming season. The evening includes hors d’oeuvres and samples of 24 champagne and wine varietals, as well as a chance to meet the theatre’s new resident ensemble actors. This year, the event will feature a silent auction with items from Louisiana’s finest hotels, arts organizations, restaurants, spas and businesses. Tickets start at $50, and raffle tickets to win an “instant Wine Cellar,” valued at more than $650, are $5. The champagne reception begins at 6:30 p.m., and the wine tasting will follow at 7 p.m. For more information and to buy tickets, click here.
