Chicago Uncorked Wine Festival

Prepare to sample premium vintages while surrounded by prehistoric skeletons and cultural treasures at the Field Museum's grand tasting event. Over 50 vendors including Napa Valley's Caymus Vineyards, Illinois' own Lynfred Winery, and Spain's Torres Family Wines offer unlimited samples of premium reds, whites, and rosés from across the globe. Culinary stations serve gourmet pairings such as artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and chocolate truffles from local purveyors like Pastoral and Katherine Anne Confections. The grand Stanley Field Hall transforms into an elegant tasting space accommodating approximately 2,000 attendees who enjoy live music from Chicago jazz quartet The Lake Effect while sampling wines. The VIP experience provides early access, exclusive reserve tastings in the museum's Grainger Hall, and commemorative crystal stemware to take home.
