What is the dress code? Buenos Aires Nights – Festive Chic

Prefer to keep it casual? Come as you are!

An Argentina soccer jersey, jeans, or your favorite everyday outfit is absolutely welcome. Whether you’re dressed up or dressed down, the goal is to feel comfortable, festive, and ready to have fun.

Is there music and dancing? Yes — DJ Bananas and dancing from 8pm–11pm  

What is a wine pull? A wine pull is where guests pay a fixed price to “pull” a bottle of wine from a curated selection — without knowing which bottle they’ll get until it’s in their hands!

Every bottle is wrapped or hidden so the labels are a surprise. Bottles range in value — some are everyday wines worth around the price you paid, and some are premium bottles worth significantly more— you might walk away with a $15 bottle or a $60 bottle.   You can buy your wine pull ticket at registration or at the event, if tickets remain.
