We’re excited to share that Gulf Coast Media recently highlighted two special September events coming to The Hope Farm in Fairhope: the Eastern Shore Bartender’s Championship and The Wine Educational Series: Stepping into Burgundy.

The Eastern Shore Bartender’s Championship will bring together talented bartenders from across the region for an evening centered on creativity, technique, and great cocktails. Guests will have the opportunity to sample the competitors’ creations, enjoy bites from The Hope Farm culinary team, and take part in the excitement by voting for a People’s Choice favorite.

The feature also spotlights Stepping into Burgundy, part of The Hope Farm’s ongoing Wine Educational Series. Led by Wine Director Will Jones, the class gives guests an approachable introduction to the wines of Burgundy while exploring the grapes, regions, and winemaking traditions that make this part of France so distinctive. Small bite pairings will accompany the tasting, creating an experience designed to be both educational and enjoyable.

Together, these events reflect what we love about gathering at The Hope Farm: creating opportunities to discover something new, celebrate talented people in the food and beverage community, and connect over thoughtful hospitality.
