A Toast to The Confluence
January 10, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us for a celebratory evening of wine tasting, delicious treats, and live cello at Hidden Creek Estates!
Nature At The Confluence provides educational programs year-round, thanks to support from our community. We occupy ancestral Ho-Chunk land, turned into a dumping ground, turned into a community learning center because of leaders who had a vision for The Confluence. Join us to raise our glasses and envision what the future will hold as we continue to come together where the Rock River and Turtle Creek meet.

The evening kicks off at 5:30pm with tasting and mingling, including your chance to choose a mystery wine bottle while donating to The Confluence. Enjoy a selection of appetizers with additional drink options available for purchase throughout the night. At 6:15pm, we will hear updates from our Executive Director and reflections from one of our past interns.
