Northeast Georgia residents who love a fine glass of wine and helping children will have the opportunity to do both in a singe afternoon.

A wine tasting for Hope and Healing will provide wine lovers a chance to indulge their palate and raise money for a local children’s center.

The events will be from 4-6 p.m. Saturday, March 18, at Montaluce Winery, 946 Via Montaluce, in Dahlonega. Tickets are $60 per person and available by calling 770-532-6530, ext. 1011.

A silent auction and raffle will be part of the afternoon. Proceeds will benefit the Children’s Center for Hope and Healing.

The center is dedicated to stopping the cycle of child sexual abuse and preventing the exploitation of children. Since 1984, it has served Northeast Georgia by providing counseling, education and advocacy for those whose lives have been affected by sexual abuse through five programs: victim services, Project Pathfinder, adult services and prevention Services. The agency provides the services for free through offices in Gainesville, Cumming and Jefferson and a satellite service location in Habersham County.
