W&M Featured Events

Join the Washington Center for our 2023 fundraising event as we support our Study in D.C. Scholarship Fund. The evening features a one-of-a-kind wine tasting experience sponsored by Vienna Vintner. All fundraising proceeds go directly to Study in D.C. students in need of financial support. With your contribution, the next W&M students will be able to take advantage of life-changing experiences that would otherwise remain out of reach.

This tasting, guided by expert sommeliers, will feature 18 different wine selections handpicked by the owner of local wine shop, Vienna Vintner, Victor Mendes. Full glasses of wine, select bottles, and beer will be available for purchase. Complimentary food pairings will be served and the night will be topped off with a few words from beloved William & Mary alumnus and former Vice President of Student Affairs, Sam Sadler '64, M.Ed.'71.
