Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

As moms, we’re all busy. Our jobs, our families, and our normal social commitments quickly consume our calendars. It feels hard, if not impossible, to carve out time for a Girl’s Night Out – but we really should make it a priority. Study after study has documented the extreme benefits that time with other women can provide. Time out with your gal pals is proven to lower stress, increase your confidence, and provide a surge of optimism.

Fellow mamas, I’ve found the perfect Girl’s Night Out for you. Wine & Dine at Dolan Lexus involves wine, delectable bites from eight different well-known Reno chefs, mezcal (sort of like tequila, but different), and coffee. There will be raffle baskets and auction items and if you buy your tickets in advance, your Girl’s Night Out will cost a whopping $25. Seriously.

My favorite part? NO KIDS. No trips to the bathroom, diffusing toddler tantrums, or cutting food into tiny bites…this night will be yours to eat, drink, and be totally merry.

If that’s not enough to sway you, all proceeds go to Urban Roots: a local non-profit focused on growing healthy bodies, minds, and communities through garden-education. Incredible right? Your Girl’s Night Out will even support a great cause.

So, come on mamas. You owe it to your physical and emotional health. Add it to your baby daddy’s calendar or find a sitter and grab your gal pals for an inexpensive night out all while supporting a great cause!

On Wednesday, November 9 edible Reno-Tahoe and Dolan Lexus are partnering to bring you a classy, fun and philanthropic event – Wine & Dine.

This inaugural pairing incorporates fare from eight different chefs including:

All proceeds support Urban Roots, a local, non-profit garden education program for youths K-12. They empower students to learn first-hand where food comes from, and how to plant, harvest and prepare each item grown.

Wine & Dine guests will be given a Dolan Lexus/ edible Reno-Tahoe souvenir glass for tasting as well as a passport outlining each chef and wine pairing to enjoy. They will then be invited to meander the Dolan Lexus dealership to visit each chef for a delectable bite and wine paired by Sommelier, Vince Bough, provided by Whispering Vine Co. Once the passport has been completed, attendees can visit an Urban Roots representative to enter a raffle for a door prize.

Brought to you by edible Reno-Tahoe and Dolan Lexus, Wine & Dine is Wednesday, November 9^th from 5:30 – 8:30 PM. Purchase your tickets here for $25 or get them at the door for $35. Call 775.746.3299 for further information. This post is sponsored by Dolan Automotive Group.
