JAZZ D’ VINE TO FEATURE JEFF HAAS TRIO
FEBRUARY 23 AT CHATEAU CHANTAL
Ticket Good For 50% Off Second Dinner at Old Mission Tavern
TRAVERSE CITY, MI - The combination of cool jazz and silky, rich wine on a mid-winter afternoon in northern Michigan is designed to cork cabin fever blues. It is also a sweet and savory way to help Grand Traverse Pavilions Foundation and our senior community.
Grand Traverse Pavilions Foundation in collaboration with Chateau Chantal will present Jazz D’ Vine on Sunday, Feb. 23, from 2-4 p.m. at the Old Mission Peninsula winery. This is the fifth consecutive year this event has taken place. Tickets are limited and reservations are necessary.
Jazz D’Vine is sponsored, in part, by TV 9&10, FOX 32, and the Grand Traverse Insider. The popular fund raiser will feature a live performance by the Jeff Haas Trio along with wine pours, cheese samples, a tour of the wine cellar and wine making process by a Chateau wine educator.
The wines featured during the event will be available to attendees with 20 percent of the proceeds donated to the Grand Traverse Pavilions Foundation.
Jazz D’ Vine will take place in Chateau Chantal’s Hospitality Room, which comfortably accommodates groups in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room features views of the Grand Traverse Bay that surround the peninsula and the beautiful countryside that envelops the chateau.
Tickets for Jazz D’ Vine are $25 per person and are available by calling the Marketing Department at Grand Traverse Pavilions at (231) 932-3027. Proceeds will be used to provide programs and services at Grand Traverse Pavilions to older adults.
Guests will also receive a 50 percent discount on a second dinner that night at nearby Old Mission Tavern. The Jazz D’Vine ticket(s) must be presented to wait staff before the meal to access the discount.
The idea for Jazz D’ Vine originated with Chateau Chantal, which sent out letters several years ago to nonprofit organizations in the region with an offer of three special events on a first come, first served basis, according to Ann Pettyjohn, events coordinator and front desk supervisor.
“We know the uncertain economic climate has made it harder to solicit donations and sponsorships from tight pockets” Pettyjohn said. “This was our way of helping local nonprofit groups during these strenuous fund-raising times.”
Pettyjohn noted that Chateau Chantal and the Jeff Haas Trio have enjoyed presenting Jazz at Sunset since 1994 and as a result of this long-standing and successful collaboration are pleased to offer these fund-raising opportunities.
“We were looking for away to keep jazz available in the off season while supporting local organizations,” she added. “The partnership with Grand Traverse Pavilions Foundation has been truly successful.”
