It’s really hard to beat the beauty of having a spring party in the Hermann-Grima House courtyard — particularly when the roses are in bloom. Utilizing that unique space was the annual Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses Wine Fête on March 22.
While guests dined on food from Pigeon Catering — including many seafood delights — and Broussard’s oysters Broussard, music from Anaïs St. John filled the courtyard under the stars.
A silent auction added more excitement — bidding options included a diamond necklace from Diamonds Direct. And, as this was a wine fête, Martin Wine Cellar provided the pours, while Sazerac was the official bar sponsor and Felipe’s offered sangria.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation for our wonderful supporters who came out to help fund our educational programming at Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses,” said Executive Director Tessa Jagger.
“Courtyard Camp, Gallier Gatherings, the open-hearth cooking program and countless others could not exist without their generosity,” Jagger added.
Event co-chairs were Caitlin Brewster and Katie Gilly.
Fun Fact: Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses is run by The Women’s Exchange, an all-female board of managers and one of the oldest nonprofits in the South. The museum was also reaccredited by the American Alliance of Museums. Out of the 33,000 museums in the U.S., only 1,113 hold the distinction.
