Russ's Market Hosts Annual Lincoln Food And Wine Experience

LINCOLN, Neb. The seventh annual Lincoln Wine and Food Experience returns in 2015 to offer wine lovers the opportunity to try different vintages and varieties. The event, presented by Russs Market, is the largest annual fundraiser for the Lincoln Community Playhouse and will be held at the Embassy Suites on Friday, Feb. 27 from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Lincoln Wine and Food Experience has become a must-attend event for people who love fine wine and food. The layout of booths has changed for 2015 to create more space for attendees, and the Reserve Room will be moved to the Atrium outside the main ballroom. Nebraska wines and foods will be showcased in the Nebraska Room, with sparkling wines featured in the Bubbly Room.

Approximately 90 booths will fill the main ballroom, offering an international selection of wines. Foodies can sample fine cheeses, Nebraska beef, gourmet desserts and other unique items. Russs Market Stone Hearth breads will be baked fresh at the event. In addition to the main ballroom, reserve room guests will enjoy an exclusive selection of reserve wines and a buffet prepared by Russs Market Catering to You.

Since its inception, the Lincoln Wine and Food Experience has raised more than $200,000 for the Lincoln Community Playhouse. This years goal is $40,000. General admission tickets for the main ballroom are $40 in advance, $50 at the door. Tickets for the Reserve Room are $60 in advance, $70 at the door. Those holding Reserve Room tickets may enjoy both the main ballroom and reserve room beginning at 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale at Russs Market locations in Lincoln.
