100 Point Cult Wine Dinner
Kicking off the festivities is Alaqua’s 6th Annual 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner on Friday evening, October 18 at 5pm. This exclusive evening is a one-of-a-kind experience for a limited collection of patrons, as guests will be the first to dine in a most unique, surprise setting at Alaqua’s future home. 

The elegant affair begins with a cocktail reception and an intimate musical performance, followed by an exquisite 5-course dinner prepared by Chef Brendan Davey, with each course perfectly paired with distinctive and stellar wines, procured especially for this dinner. An evening of luxe savoring and sipping, including a live and silent auction, this fête is not to be missed! Seats are limited — $1200 per seat. Tickets: https://www.animore.org/.

As an added bonus this year, 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner guests will be treated to the VIP Patron Lounge and prime seating at Saturday’s Inaugural Barn Jam (including complimentary food and drinks).

The Campaign for Alaqua Animal Refuge — Second Chances Start Here
Alaqua is currently in the midst of a $15 million Capital Campaign initiative that serves as the foundation for Alaqua’s relocation and expansion from our current site of 10 acres to 100 acres of donated land. The Campaign will provide critical funding for the construction of buildings and facilities to ensure long-term financial stability and growth, while achieving our goals and furthering our mission. This one-of-a-kind refuge and sanctuary will be the first of its kind in the United States, and will be a game-changer for Alaqua’s future, helping us transform the shape of animal shelters and sanctuaries around the globe.
