A Riedel Wine Glass Tasting Experience
Thursday, April 9, 2026
Just as wine tastes different depending on the glass, scientific breakthroughs are shaped by the environment in which ideas are shared. When mission-driven scientists gather in the right setting, progress accelerates.
Join us at Celebration on Wells in Lake Geneva for an evening supporting cancer research. Experience a guided tasting of four wines—Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet—each poured into four distinct Riedel glass styles to showcase how design enhances flavor and aroma. A curated dinner will complement the tasting, and each guest will receive a set of four Riedel glasses (MSRP $198).
We are also pleased to welcome Jason Kwon of AbbVie, a participant in our Fall Forum on AI in Cancer and Drug Discovery. He will share compelling insights on the powerful connection between science, environment, and the collaborative research model that transforms innovation into meaningful progress for patients.
An engaging and informative evening—great wine, meaningful conversation, and a cause that truly matters.
