Nova Place, Pittsburgh's Northside, 100 South Commons

A little wine is thought to be good for the heart. Sisters Place’s 22nd Annual Crushed Grapes Wine Tasting Event wants to prove that it’s also good for the soul.
 One of Pittsburgh’s most anticipated springtime events, Crushed Grapes will be held Thursday, April 18, 2024, at Nova Place in Pittsburgh’s North Side. VIP entry starts at 5:30 p.m. and doors open for general admission at 6:00 p.m., with unlimited tastings of curated fine wines and gourmet food options until 8:30 p.m. The Crushed Grapes event will also feature culinary demonstrations, live music, a photo booth, raffle baskets, and a high-end silent auction. Proceeds will benefit Sisters Place, a non-profit supporting families experiencing homelessness and poverty.
 Melissa Ferraro, executive director of Sisters Place, said that Crushed Grapes promises to be a treat for all the senses.
 “After the winter months, what better way to usher in spring and feed your soul than by joining us at Crushed Grapes for some fine wines, tasty hors d’oeuvres, and relaxing music?” said Ferraro. “It’s a great way to catch up with old friends and meet new acquaintances, while supporting a worthy cause.”
The Unconventional Kitchen will provide catering with wine tastings, along with craft beer samples from Vecenie Distribution Co. The Izzy Arlet Quartet will also provide live entertainment throughout the evening. 
VIP tickets are available at $125 per person, which will include early admission at 5:30 p.m., along with access to a VIP lounge, a special wine selection, champagne toast, and VIP raffle. Tickets are also available for general admission at $75 per person starting at 6:00 p.m. 
 Ferraro noted that the Crushed Grapes Wine Tasting will help to raise crucial dollars for Sisters Place’s programs.
“Currently, we are supporting 25 families experiencing homelessness who do not qualify for subsidized housing,” she said. “Besides giving these families a place to live, we provide them with in-home supportive services, including case management, parenting education, and family activities. Over 90 percent of the families leaving Sisters Place transition safely into independent housing. These services help those families get back on their feet and rebuild their lives in the community.”
Serving as co-chairs for the 2024 Crushed Grapes Wine Tasting Event are Barb O’Connor, Alyse Kaminski and Chris Miller.
