For the past seven years, the Baltimore Chapter of NACE has hosted UNCORKED!, a remarkable wine dinner and table design competition. The fundraiser brings together members of the event industry and the community at large for an evening of fine cuisine, wine, décor, a silent auction, and entertainment, and its success on all levels has garnered multiple awards, setting the bar for fundraising events throughout the nation. UNCORKED! proceeds benefit the Foundation of NACE, the Baltimore Chapter of NACE, and Meals on Wheels.
Cocktail Hour: The evening began on the first floor of AVAM’s Jim Rouse Building with an hour of specialty drinks & hors d’oeuvres, entertainment, theme-inspired décor, and a fabulous silent auction!
Dinner: An incredible 3-course dinner prepared by some of the area’s best chefs, paired with wine, and set amidst an array of incredibly designed tables on the third floor of the Jim Rouse Building.
Table Design Competition: Guests were able to vote on their favorite table design as the winner of the People’s Choice Award, and a panel of guest judges determined which tables would hail as winners of the awards for Most Creative, Best Interpretation, and Best Overall. The theme for UNCORKED! 2011 was “A Night of MYSTERY,” and all aspects of the event were reflected the motif. The evening will also incorporate an extensive silent auction and highlight the creative talents of members with an extravagant table design competition.
