There are few things better than a summer evening on a great Milwaukee patio... except maybe an evening on that patio enjoying a few glasses of sparkling wine.

That's exactly what's in store for the second annual Bubbles in Bay View, which will take place June 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Sorella, 2535 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.  The event will feature the opportunity to taste four sparkling wines, a still rosé, plus passed hors d’oeuvres – all served up on the restaurant's beautifully appointed patio. Featured wines will include:

  • Louis Roederer Collection 243 Champagne 
  • La Gioiosa Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G.
  • La Gioiosa Prosecco Rose Millesimato D.O.C.
  • Villa Sparina Brut Blanc de Blancs 
  • Rocco di Montemassi Renaissance Rose IGT, 2022
 

Get your tickets

Bubbles in Bay View is $70 per person (includes tax and gratuity), and tickets can be purchased online. Even better, guests who reserve a table for dinner following the event will receive a 10% discount on their total check.

Should rain put a damper on this sparkling soiree, Sorella has scheduled a rain date for Thursday, July 6.
