Raise a glass to love!

You don't need to travel out to Napa Valley or along the Connecticut Wine Trail for tantalizing tastings and creative pairings. Celebrate love right up the road from ConnectiKids at our tasting event at New Park Brewing this February!

Tired of the same old flowers and dinner to celebrate love? Why not think outside the box and enjoy a tasting event while sending love to the community at the same time? The ConnectiKids Share the Love Fundraiser is your ticket to all that love has to offer. You can sample a variety of wines and beer, order from New Park's delicious food menu, listen to awesome live entertainment, and score fabulous silent auction items! It's the perfect choice for date night, friends' night out, or just me time.

Get your tickets today and lock in a fantastic start to your 2026 Valentine’s weekend!

This event is generously sponsored by New Park Brewing and Missing Link Wine Company!
