BOCA BACCHANAL 2023 Celebrating Exquisite Wine & Food, April 28-30 The Grand Tasting at The Addison to Include Silent Auction of Exotic Luxury Items Including The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release Decade I (Boca Raton, FL – April 14, 2023) The Boca Raton Historical Society will be hosting the always popular BOCA BACCHANAL, an annual weekend celebration of fine wine and food, slated for April 28-30, which always concludes with The Grand Tasting, offering extraordinary tasting selections of wines, champagnes, and whiskey, as well as generous samplings of signature dishes by celebrated local chefs. This delicious event will run from 1 to 4 pm on Sunday, April 30, at The Addison, which is widely considered one of the most important pieces of architecture in South Florida and is located at 2 East Camino Real (33432). The Grand Tasting will also include a silent auction of exotic luxury items, including The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release Decade I with four Lalique tumblers. The bottle packaging includes an original illustration of scenes from Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live Twice (1967). The timeless single malt was specifically developed to reflect both the enduing character of James Bond and the Scottish heritages shared by both 007 and The Macallan Distillery in Craigellachie, Scotland. Another item in the silent auction will be The Macallan private tasting experience hosted by National Brand Ambassador Katie Nahat and featuring some of its most exclusive whiskies with a catered pairing—to be hosted in the home of the auction winner. Other auction items include Holland America Cruise for two, a Salmanazar (9 liters) of Taittinger Brut La Française, Truchard Wine Tasting for 10, vacation on a solar yacht, luxurious hotel stays, and memorable restaurant experiences.
