Newtown Forest Association’s 2019 Sunset Wine Tasting is scheduled for Saturday, September 7, from 4 to 8 pm, at Holcombe Hill Wildlife Preserve, 65 Great Hill Road. Holcombe Hill is the highest point in Newtown, affording panoramic views of the surrounding area — and a brilliant sunset.

Guests will enjoy food, live music by Grammy-nominated acoustic band Sundad, and a silent auction, as well as wine sampling and sales.

Wine is provided by Yankee Wine & Spirits, with support from Newtown Savings Bank and Aquarion Water Company.

The event has sold out every previous year the event has been held, and tickets are available only online.

Tickets and membership are available at newtownforestassociation.org. No tickets will be available onsite. You must have a ticket to attend.

All attendees must be at least 21 years of age.

To donate to the silent auction, reach out to Aaron Coopersmith at aaroncoop@gmail.com.
