International Wine and Culinary Event Features Top Chefs, Superb Libations and Leading Design with Proceeds Benefiting Three Local Charities

On Thursday, November 9, LuxeHome, in partnership with Wine Spectator Magazine, presents the annual CHILL, an International Wine & Culinary Event, in support of three Chicago area charitable organizations.

Now in its 11th year, the beloved epicurean event will bring together the best in Chicago food, drink, and design. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to sample bites from more than 40 of the city’s distinguished chefs, sip spirits and wines from across the world (full list of 2017 partners at time of distribution is included below), and enjoy entertainment from Chicago talent. The state-of-the-art LuxeHome boutiques and showrooms located on the first floor of Chicago’s iconic Merchandise Mart will set the stage.

Proceeds from CHILL directly benefit The Lynn Sage Foundation, the Respiratory Health Association and Saturday Place. Since its launch, CHILL has raised more than $1 million to support its respective local charitable organizations.

CHILL 2017 takes place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Merchandise Mart (222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza). Advance tickets available to purchase, here ($125). After November 1, ticket price will increase to $145.
