About this Event

Join Winefest and Midwest Living for an intimate garden gathering featuring wine tastings and thoughtfully paired bites from Chef Aaron Holt at Doolittle Farms, inspired by recipes from celebrity chef Rick Bayless's backyard garden, as featured in Midwest Living's 40th Anniversary issue.

Spend the evening strolling the gardens, meeting the editors behind Midwest Living, and connecting with fellow garden and food enthusiasts. Along the way, enjoy a seasonal floral experience (and takeaway) with Midwest Living Photo Director Jessica Thomas, garden insights from Test Garden Director Sandra Gerdes, and a conversation with Editor in Chief of Midwest Living and Winefest board member, Kylee Krizmanic.

Whether you're looking for fresh culinary inspiration, beautiful blooms, or simply a memorable summer evening, this exclusive event offers a unique opportunity to experience the Better Homes & Gardens Test Garden after hours.
