We will see you on July 31, 2024, for the summer's biggest party in the gardens.
Experience the height of summer among the stunning gardens of the Arboretum at Taste & Toast! Set for Wednesday, July 31, this after-hours event celebrates fresh, local cuisine and regional wine and beer. Live music sets the stage for tastings from local restaurants and food trucks as well as samplings from Minnesota wineries, breweries and more, including the Arboretum’s own Horticultural Research Center, the developer of popular cold-hardy wine grapes including Marquette and Itasca. All proceeds benefit the Arboretum's public gardens and its environmental, horticultural and educational programs.
Please note this is a 21+ event — No children are allowed, including those in strollers or carriers.
The 2024 Taste & Toast event is sold out!
