The Fairchild Palms, a young professionals group affiliated with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, presented its annual “Fine Wines at Fairchild” event at FTBG in Coral Gables. The event featured exquisite wine tasting paired with gourmet cuisine from top local restaurants. In addition to the samplings of fine wines and delicious food, guests will enjoyed live music with silent and live auctions. Wines were provided by Eric Solomon’s European Cellars and “W” Wine Bistro. All proceeds from this event go to the Fairchild Challenge environmental education outreach program distributed to schools nationwide.
