Join the Eno River Association for an evening celebrating good spirits to make the Eno River more accessible!

Enjoy a curated selection of rare spirits, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and plenty of time to mix and mingle with fellow Eno supporters at Leland Little Auctions. You must be over 21 years of age and have a valid ID to attend.

The evening will also feature a special presentation from Chris Dreps, ERA’s Director of Conservation & Stewardship, about our Universal Access Trail project at the Confluence Natural Area. Learn more about what we’re working toward and how this project will help create a more accessible Eno River experience for people of all abilities.

Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a special rare spirits auction, with proceeds supporting the Universal Access Trail project.

Your support at this event will help us reach a $100,000 fundraising goal and unlock a $60,000 challenge gift toward this $220,000 project. Contact [email protected] to learn more about the campaign.

Space is limited to 100 attendees, so reserve your spot soon! Your ticket includes admission to the event, 3 tasting tickets for half pours of a curated selection of rare spirits, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and the evening's presentation and activities.

We’re incredibly grateful to Mark Solomon, Fine Wine & Rare Spirits Director at Leland Little Auctions, and the many supporters helping bring this special evening together.

Come raise a glass, connect with the Eno community, and help make the river more accessible to everyone.
