The Captiva Civic Association (CCA) will close out its 2024–25 season with a celebratory evening of wine, food, and community. The Summer Wine Preview is set for Monday, April 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Captiva Civic Center, located at 11550 Chapin Lane on Captiva Island.
This signature event invites attendees to explore a curated selection of wines perfect for warm-weather gatherings, from backyard barbecues to beachside afternoons. Hosted by Calli Johnson duPont, wine steward for Bailey’s General Store and The Island Store, the tasting will feature six to eight summer-inspired wines ranging from light whites to robust reds.
In addition to the wine selection, Chef Karl Hamm will prepare a series of gourmet bites and charcuterie tastings to complement each pour, offering guests inspiration for summer entertaining and refreshing pairings for the season.
“This event is a celebration of everything we love about summer on Captiva—great wine, good food, and the company of friends,” said Kathryn Sisson, Acting Director of the CCA. “It’s also our final event of the season, so we look forward to seeing many familiar faces before the community heads into summer.”
The Summer Wine Preview is part of CCA’s seasonal Wine Preview Series, sponsored by Royal Shell, which also supported the holiday edition earlier in the season.
Tickets are priced at $65 for non-members, and discounted tickets are available to CCA members via a private link sent by email. All members of the community are welcome, and early reservations are encouraged.
