Grande Marque Champagne tasting

Plenty of Champagne and sparkling wine will be flowing during the 24th year of Wally's Grande Marque Champagne Tasting event. Nearly 100 of the best bottles will be poured, inlcuding Dom Pèrignon, Krug, Salon and Cristal. To accompany all that imbibing, there will be signature dishes offered from leading restaurants like Café del Rey with a lavish raw bar and Drago Centro for the best in Italian food. Live music will accompany the evening as you taste treats from Calvisius Caviar and Wally’s Cheese Box, and participate in a silent auction that features wines and getaways. All the proceeds will benefit the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation and Food on Foot, so there's no better reason to sip and dine on the best that Wally's has to offer. Don't worry about having too much fun because the JW Marriott Santa Monica Le Merigot is offering special room rates for Grande Marque attendees. Tickets are $175 per person and $225 when purchased after June 1st.
