What is a Virtual Grains vs. Grapes Event
andย Why Should I Attend?

Over the last 10 years, our US partnerย Warren Majengo Foundationย has hosted an elegant beer and wine pairing dinner event each fall.ย  Typically, it has been a 5-course meal of unusual and delightful small plates created by Ian Ashbaughย (board treasurer and brilliant chef), each paired with a beer and wine.ย  Each beer and wine is carefully selected to match the meal.ย  After each small plate, diners vote for their preferred beverage and a winner is selected, wine or beer!ย ๐Ÿ˜‹

This year, due to COVID restrictions, we are going to host a virtual event.ย  We know that many people look forward to this event every year to gather, share a meal, meet friends, and get a little update on what is happening at Majengo.ย  This annual event is also WMF’s largest single fundraiser and provides a significant contribution towards Majengo’s yearly operating costs.ย  So for our guests and for the kids, the show must go on!

New this year, we are excited to bring you โ€“ย for the first time ever ย โ€“ย direct updates from the staff and kids on the ground at Majengo Childrenโ€™s Home via videos.ย ย You will be able to see how Majengo helped the surrounding community by providing handwashing kits and food packets as well as at-home school essentials.ย  Join us to see the exciting work that has been going on!

How does it work?

Itโ€™s simple. We will send you a shopping list of items to purchase and prepare for the night of the event.ย The menu will containย everyday food items that will each be paired with a wine and a beer.

During the event, our beer and wine experts will have a live debate on who made the best pairing for each of the five courses.ย  Then with the magic of a simple Zoom poll, we can all vote for a winner while we enjoy some video updates from Tanzania.

If getting groceriesย or drinks is tough right now (#lockdown!), then we encourage you to open a bottle of your favourite wine, or crack open your favourite beer and vote for this yearโ€™s winner of Grains vs. Grapes based solely on the case presented.

The event will be approximately 1 hour.
