BOCA RATON, FL (March 2, 2026) – Following an elegant and well-attended evening at Bacchus Beckons on February 26 at Saks Fifth Avenue, where guests gathered to toast the season ahead, Boca Bacchanal now turns its focus to the intimate experiences that define the heart of the celebration. As the excitement from the kickoff lingers, the spotlight shifts to the highly anticipated Vintner Dinners, where carefully curated tables, world-class wines, and exceptional chefs come together in settings designed for connection, conversation, and discovery…all in support of the Boca Raton Historical Society.

Hosted in stunning private residences and celebrated Boca Raton venues, each Vintner Dinner pairs a world-class winery with a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu, created by some of South Florida’s most respected culinary talents. These evenings are known not only for exceptional wine and cuisine, but for the rare opportunity to connect directly with vintners, chefs, and fellow patrons in an unforgettable, immersive setting.

“Vintner Dinners are the heart of Boca Bacchanal,” said Olivia Hollaus, Executive Director of the Boca Raton Historical Society. “They bring together artistry, hospitality, and storytelling in a way that feels deeply personal—while supporting our mission to preserve and share Boca Raton’s history, especially as we prepare to highlight America 250 with exciting programming and exhibitions.”
