Chicago Botanic Garden says…

The best way to brush up on a topic is through first-hand experience. With that in mind, the Regenstein Fruit & Vegetable Garden offers this high-class crash course on the world of beer and wine. Experts talk about what to look for when choosing your poison, but the real draw is the sampling, in which reps from Whole Foods and Terlato Wines International twist your arm into tasting some of the best brews and vino around. (They also hold cooking demonstrations just to keep things balanced.) Designated drivers get in the door for free, but for other city dwellers, the Garden Trolley will safely shuttle you to the awaiting libations.
