Like a fine vintage, UNLVino is opening up with its return to the Thomas & Mack Center for its 50th Anniversary Grand Tasting. The celebration will bring together wine connoisseurs, enthusiasts, students and alumni for an unforgettable evening of amazing wines, culinary delights and raising scholarship funds for students at the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality. Guests will indulge in a tasting experience that blends artistry and culture with every sip, savoring the rich complexity of each pour. From the deep, bold notes of wine, crisp hops, smooth liquors and the subtle elegance of sake – each drink offers its own story and play on the palate. Additionally, notable restaurant establishments throughout Southern Nevada and College of Hospitality students will present a variety of tastings to perfectly pair with the wine and beverages offered.
A HISTORY AGED
LIKE FINE WINE
Within the halls of one of the world’s most prestigious hospitality colleges, UNLV’s most iconic food and beverage festival was born. Designed to indulge the Las Vegas community while creating new opportunities for university students, UNLVino continues to bring together the best chefs, winemakers, brew masters and distillers in the world. Inspired by university alumni in 1974, millions of dollars have been raised to fund scholarships for the UNLV William F. Harrah College of Hospitality students. The festival is organized jointly by UNLV and Southern Glazer’s Wine, Spirits & Beer of Nevada and remains the longest tradition at the University and one of the college’s largest fundraisers.
