"Of autumn’s wine now drink your fill;
the frost’s on the pumpkin, the snow’s on the hill."

Celebrate the bounty of the harvest and support the University Club Foundation with dinner, a wine pull, or both!

Participants will enjoy a sip of still and sparkling ciders as well as spirits from regional distilleries. The tasting is included in the price of the Surf & Turf buffet.
