Enjoy a summer evening experiencing vintages al fresco at the fifth annual IU Health North Hospital Art of Wine, a can't-miss event in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

Saturday, July 20 from 5- 10 p.m.
Adults 21 years of age and older are invited to unlimited wine tastings from participating wineries for only $15.

All ages are welcome to attend IU Health North Hospital Art of Wine, enjoy the entertainment, take in unique art and visit the District’s shops and restaurants.

! > Photo identification will be required for all guests who wish to participate in the tasting.

Many of the Carmel Arts & Design District boutiques and merchants will host special sales or promotions during the festival, while the diverse collection of galleries will host exhibits that spotlight wine-inspired works created by local, national and international artists. Some galleries and shops will even bring The Art of Wine to the already-colorful District streetscape by displaying giant, custom-designed wine bottles and glasses transformed by local artists. Again, the District’s galleries, shops, restaurants and entertainment will be available to all ages at Art of Wine.

Please note: The $15 fee for the tasting is cash only. If you wish to purchase bottles of wine at the wineries’ booths, credit cards will be accepted at most locations. ATMs will be available at the following locations:

Art
We owe deep gratitude to our family of artists who turn large-scale wine bottles and glasses into exquisite artwork. Guests at the event can see them on display throughout the District. Our gallery for 2013 is growing and we raise our glass to this year’s art. Special thanks go out to Café Patachou for allowing us to recycle and re-use their oversized wine bottles.

NEW FEATURE FOR OUR GUESTS IN 2013:
The StorAmerica Wine Check!
Always thinking about guest conveniences, we are thrilled to offer the StorAmerica Wine Check area. This added feature allows IU Health North Hospital Art of Wine guests to purchase bottles of wine from eligible wineries during the evening. Guests can then safely store them at the StorAmerica Wine Check, located within the festival. From there, Art of Wine guests are hands-free and can enjoy the evening without carrying around their treasured vintages!

At the end of the evening, guests pick-up their bottles from the StorAmerica Wine Check and take them home to enjoy. All bottles must be picked up by 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2013.
