A Women’s Winter Gathering to Benefit the Lakeland Pantry

Thursday, January 8, 2026 | 5–8 PM
Norwood Pines, Minocqua
Ages 21+ | Limited Tickets

Our beloved winter women’s fundraiser is back with a fresh new name and venue! Formerly known as Wine, Women & Winter, this reimagined event—Uncork & Unwind—keeps the same spirit of fun, friendship, and community while elevating the experience for 2026.

Join us at the historic Norwood Pines for an evening of delicious heavy appetizers, curated wine tastings, raffle baskets, and exciting door prizes. This is a warm and welcoming celebration designed exclusively for women, all in support of the Lakeland Pantry.
