A HUGE thank you to Jamie from Rig Hand Distillery for the entertaining, informative and tasty presentation at our fundraiser on October 2. The snacks from Festa Catering were delicious and everyone enjoyed themselves - especially those who won a door prize or walked away with a bottle of Pecan Pie Double Double or the Tasting and Tour for 12 auction items generously donated by Rig Hand 💚

What an eek-citing and fang-tastic Spooky Themed W**e Tasting fundraiser our guests were brave enough to attended! Signature Spirits in Beaumont strongly supported this event with eerily delicious w**es, door prize baskets, a gift card for best costume and a lovely bottle of w**e to auction. Upi from Festa Catering ensured all the ghouls and goblins were fed up with an awe-mazing variety of tasty treats. Thanks to all for your fun-tastic support!

Friends of Beaumont and Literacy Society invite you to our SPOOKY W**e Tasting Fundraiser on Friday, October 24 from 7-10 pm at the 50+ Club in Beaumont.

Join us for a hauntingly delightful evening where Will from Signature W**e and Spirits promises five wickedly good pours with frightfully fun food pairings by Festa Catering. For the reasonable price of $40 the only thing scary is how much you will love the w**e!

Don’t be afraid! Come dressed for the occasion – there will be prizes!

Who knew there were so many types, flavours and levels of fiery-ness in tequila, agave and mezcal? Guests at our March 15 tequila tasting fundraiser soon learned, thanks to Elyse from Vine Arts and the great variety she and Jess presented. Tasty snacks, a lively tequila auction and LOTS of laughter rounded out the evening. ARRIBA!
