Happy HalloWine:
A Night of Freaks, Mavens and Mischief
With Special Guest: Darcy Dayton
South Central Regional Manager | Michael David Winery
6:30 p.m.
Museum of World Treasures

Wichita, Kansas 67202

(All-inclusive pricing - tax and gratuity included!)
Join us for a frightfully fun evening of Freaks, Mavens & Mischief, featuring nine wines from Michael David Winery’s Freakshow and Misfits & Mavens collections.
We’re especially excited to welcome Darcy Dayton, South Central Regional Manager for Michael David Winery, as our special guest. With more than 11 years at the winery, Darcy brings plenty of wine knowledge—and the stories and personalities behind the bottles—to what promises to be a slightly mischievous evening.
A Little Trick or Treat
Bring a bottle of wine to add to our Trick or Treat Wine Exchange. We’ll mix them all together, and everyone who brings a bottle will go home with a mystery bottle of their own. Will yours be a trick...or a treat?
And because it wouldn’t be Halloween without a little dressing up, feel free to get your freak on! Costumes are optional—but definitely welcome.
