About the NCC Food & Wine Gala

Northampton Community College’s Food & Wine Gala will be held on May 31, 2024, featuring Master of Wine, Chris Cree, of Cree Wine Company. Chris is one of only 418 people globally who have achieved the prestigious distinction of Master of Wine, and we are thrilled to have him join us!

Join Master of Ceremonies Ashley Russo, Founding Partner Sponsor Wind Creek Bethlehem, and fellow business and community leaders from all over the region for an unforgettable night in support of NCC students. 100% of proceeds benefit students scholarships!

This year, the event will return to its roots, and take place in the Arthur L. Scott Spartan Center located on Northampton Community College’s beautiful main campus. The evening will include a cocktail hour, a three-course dinner with delectable wine pairings selected by Chris followed by dessert, an open bar and live music from The Weekenders. Dress is cocktail attire.
