Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts announces inaugural Toasts & Tastes fundraising event at Wilder Mansion

The Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts (ECPA) is pleased to introduce Toasts & Tastes for ECPA, an exclusive wine-tasting event at Wilder Mansion on April 10. Guests will experience a curated selection of more than 100 wines from around the world, with sommeliers on-site to guide tastings and answer questions.

In partnership with Tannins Wine Bar & Boutique, this lively evening will offer an immersive experience, complete with live music, passed hors d’oeuvres, and food stations. Attendees will have the opportunity to place wine orders at the event, with special discounts available for volume purchases.

“This event is a fantastic way to welcome spring with friends while supporting the performing arts,” said Doug Beach, a longtime ECPA supporter, Grammy Award-winning musician, and Director of Jazz Studies Emeritus at Elmhurst University. “The arts play a vital role in shaping vibrant communities, and ECPA’s vision to bring world-class performing arts to Elmhurst will have a lasting impact. Every ticket purchased brings us one step closer to making that vision a reality.”

As ECPA works to establish a world-class performing arts venue in the western suburbs, fundraising events like Toasts & Tastes play a critical role in bringing this vision to life. Once built, the 26,000-square-foot facility will host live theater, music, dance, comedy, and community events, transforming Elmhurst into a regional cultural hub.

Guests are encouraged to dress in business casual attire for an elegant yet relaxed evening. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available under the EVENTS tab at ECPA-elmhurst.org. This event is 21+.
