In its 15th year, the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum’s main fundraising event, the annual Boca Bacchanal Wine & Food Festival, will be March 24-25. The celebration begins with the exclusive vintner dinners on March 24, and a spirits dinner followed by Bacchanalia on March 25.

 The vintner dinners
    These dinners are at grand estates and unique historical sites  in Boca Raton. The dining experiences each feature a vintner and chef pairing their wine and cuisine to create a five-course meal. Guests attending the vintner dinners can meet their chef and vintner. Tickets are $325.
 
The community’s party
    Bacchanalia combines food from more than 30 local restaurants with vintners showcasing their wineries’ best — all for attendees to sample. DJ and electric violinist Timothee Lovelock will entertain until 11 p.m. Auction is included. Tickets to Bacchanalia are $125.
