Wines and Designs

There's nothing better than imbibing high-quality wine — except maybe doing it while watching a display of high-quality fashion. Throughout the summer, on select Thursday evenings, the Riverfront Park Wine & Fashion Series will prove the compatibility of sunsets, runway-walking, wine-tasting and music at the Millennium Bridge Plaza in Riverfront Park, 1610 Little Raven Street.

Tonight's episode features fashions from Saks Fifth Avenue paired with French wine, plus music by DJ Smyl:E, hors d'oeuvre and an after-party from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Monarck, 1414 Market Street. Tickets are $25 for general admission, which includes an open wine bar. Want a reserved seat on the catwalk? Fork over $40 per person — or $300 to reserve a table for six.

Proceeds benefit the Railyard Dogs, a group committed to building an off-leash dog park downtown. Visit www.riverfrontfashion.com to purchase tickets or get more information, including upcoming fashion-and-wine themes.
