There are few things better than a summer evening on a great Milwaukee patio... except maybe an evening on that patio enjoying a few glasses of sparkling wine.
That's exactly what's in store for this year’s Bubbles in Bay View, which will take place Sunday, Aug. 24 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Sorella, 2535 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
“Marking five years since opening in the middle of COVID, we want this anniversary to be about gathering people together,” says Sorella Co-owner Paul Damora. “I’m excited about the wines we’re pouring, Kyle's traditional meatball antipasti, and the fun touches like a live DJ, tarot cards, bond bracelets, and a vintage pop-up.
“We're looking forward to spending the afternoon celebrating and connecting with our customers and friends. We’re also proud to give back to the neighborhood we love, with proceeds from the Build-Your-Own Bouquet bar benefiting the Bay View Community Center and supporting those affected by the recent flooding.”
What’s in store
Bubbles in Bay View will feature the opportunity to taste ten favorite sparkling, white and rosé wines and enjoy antipasti and heavy appetizers – all served up on the restaurant's beautifully appointed patio. Attendees are also welcome to order pizza, beer and cocktails a la carte.
During the event, guests are also invited to:
- Shop unique finds from Plume Vintage and Paloma Wilder Bond Bracelets
- Vibe to DJ Dripsweat on the patio
- Participate in tarot card readings by Other Dust
- Build-your-own bouquet to benefit the Bay View Community Center
Sorella door prizes will be awarded throughout the event!
