What

5 miles northwest of Houston in the verdant pastures of Blue Heron Farm in Waller, Texas, curated by Lindsey Schechter of Houston Dairymaids, this event serves guests a tasting of cheeses (including one from host Lisa Seger and her gorgeous friends at Blue Heron Farm). Cheeses will be paired with Artesa wines, and poured by Laurie Harvey of Cherry Pie Hospitality. Chefs Karen Man and Valerie Trasatti of Benevento Bakeshop will be baking artisanal accompaniments.

Tickets are $70, with all proceeds going to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC). PPGC, a 501(c)(3) corporation, has established a formal Hurricane Harvey Patient Relief Program to provide charitable funding for patients who were impacted by the storm and are unable to pay for their health care or co-pay costs. Funds will cover routine office visits, medication such as birth control and more acute care, with costs ranging typically from $100 – $300 per person. PPGC anticipates providing approximately 3,000 health care visits through this program between September 1st and December 31st, 2017, as well as personal care kits (tampons, condoms, etc.) to those living in temporary housing.
