Jessup Cellars is having a wine and fashion event Aug 15-18, and several Sonoma Scent Studio perfumes will be paired with Jessup wines in a presentation by Mary Orlin, Huffington Post’s Wine Fashionista. The pairings help teach appreciation of aromatic notes through the similarities in the worlds of wine and perfume. Mary will feature four of Jessup’s wines along with several of my scents and some of my essential oils during a forum presentation on Thursday the 15th and in informal walk-though events on Friday and Sunday.
The four-day event, called Dress To The Vines, is part of Jessup’s Tastemaker Speaker Series. The Thursday night forum also features fashion insight from Gastronomique En Vogue (GEV) magazine Editor-in-Chief Kaye Cloutman and Fashion Stylist Karri Grant and will be moderated by wine consultant Melissa Haines. Tickets to the event can be purchased online.
The weekend event includes:
— Thursday, August 15th: Defining Wine Country Fashion: The Who, How, When (a forum)
— Friday, August 16th: Revealing the Scents & Sights of Fashion, through Wine (party and table presentations)
— Saturday, August 17th: Dress to the Vines Fashionista Dinner & After Party
— Sunday, August 18th: Fall Fashion Release: A Designers Market (opportunity to purchase items at pop-up boutique)
