This popular, annual fundraiser helps support the National Railroad Museum’s various educational activities. Join us and sample a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits selected for your enjoyment. Each ticket also includes a souvenir-tasting glass. A silent auction with an array of items with staggered times for the closing of bids will be held throughout the evening. Guests must be 21 years old and have a valid ID to attend.

Live Entertainment & Food

The ACME Pickers will bring lively tunes to our event as you sample a hand-selected variety of wine, beer, and spirits! This local favorite covers classic hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s and some contemporary songs destined to become classics.

Dos Chiles will be catering food for purchase!
