Because we've so enjoyed the ambiance and beauty of our previous date nights at Chicago Botanic Garden, John and I have been trying to get to a Grapevines & Wines event at the garden for years, and thus far, we've been booked during every tasting so far {kindergarten graduation pulls rank this year again!}
But! You likely don't have kindergarten graduation that night, and if that's the case, this giveaway is for you!

ReplyDeleteThe Chicago Botanic Garden is our favorite date night place too!
ReplyDeleteFor my favorite date night, I like to start off at the Par King miniature golf course for some child-like fun, then class it up across the street with steak and wine at Wildfire, then on to Viper Alley for a nightcap and some live music!
ReplyDeleteWe love the Chicago Botanic Garden, and also love dancing to live music at Durty Nellie's in Palatine! Would love to win these tickets :)
ReplyDeleteRavinia! Nothing beats a loaded picnic basket and a well-stocked cooler along with good music in a beautiful setting.
