Help celebrate 50 years of marine history with year of events
The Marine Museum of Manitoba is celebrating 50 years in our community this year. In celebration of this momentous achievement, they are planning a year full of fun, fundraising and community events to get residents together to learn more about our local history. To kick off the summer season, the museum will be hosting a Wine and Cookie Pairing event on May 26 at 2 p.m.
This event will pair the elegance of wine with the sweetness of cookies. Flying Pig Patch has teamed up with Andrew Peller Limited to curate a menu that features a variety of wine styles from robust reds to crisp whites, alongside a complementary assortment of cookies ranging from classic to contemporary twists. Attendees will learn about the art of pairing while enjoying the interplay of flavours that each combination presents.
This event will, of course, take place on the ships of the Marine Museum of Manitoba. Residents will also get access to a tour of the museum’s exhibits, a presentation on the history of the museum, its 50th anniversary, and what the next 50 years look like as well as opportunities to purchase their favourite wines and cookies to take home.
Tickets are $75 and for every ticket sold, $50 will be contributed to the Marine Museum of Manitoba’s Heritage Trust Fund and attendees will receive a $50 tax receipt. As a special thank you, the museum has also pledged to match the total amount raised, dollar for dollar making supporting this cause just a little sweeter. Contributions directly support the Marine Museum’s mission to preserve our marine heritage for generations to come.
Tickets are limited to ensure an intimate experience. To purchase tickets and more information, please visit the Marine Museum of Manitoba’s website: marinemuseum.ca/events-programs/wine-and-cookie-pairing/ or contact the museum directly at (204) 482-7761.
Museum staff look forward to welcoming attendees aboard for an afternoon of discovery and indulgence.
