Raise a glass to good company, great flavors, and giving back at Pour Decisions: Sipsgiving, happening Tuesday, November 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at The Shop at the CAC. The second event in our Pour Decisions Series, this festive Wine & Thanksgiving Pairing invites you to sip and savor the season with an evening of wine, bites, and holiday cheer.

Guests will explore wines from the Pacific Northwest, France, and California, each thoughtfully paired with classic Thanksgiving-inspired dishes—all served reception-style in a warm, social atmosphere. Whether you’re a dedicated wine enthusiast or just here for the turkey and trimmings, Sipsgiving is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season surrounded by community, conversation, and gratitude.

Even better? All proceeds benefit the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience (NOWFE)—one of the city’s most celebrated culinary events. Now in its 34th year, NOWFE showcases what New Orleans does best: eating and drinking. Each year, hundreds of wineries and restaurants come together to create experiences that highlight local flavor and culinary innovation. Beyond the exceptional food and wine, NOWFE has raised over $1.5 million for local nonprofits, from food banks to culinary schools, strengthening our city’s culture and community.

Come for the pours, stay for the people, and leave with a little extra holiday spirit.
