Wine & Beer Tasting at the Depot: A Livingston preservation benefit
The evening has two arrival times and two ticket tiers: the main tasting begins at 6:30 p.m., while a $25 add-on opens the doors an hour earlier for hors d’oeuvres, early samples and a first look at auction items. Both are part of the Livingston Depot Foundation’s annual fundraiser for the Depot’s preservation and educational work.
An early arrival with its own ticket terms
The main event runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and costs $50. The optional sneak-peek hour runs from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and costs an additional $25. It includes passed hors d’oeuvres prepared by local chefs, a signature Depot wine glass to keep, earlier access to regional beer and wine samples, and a preview of the silent auction.
The Depot’s ticket listing describes a complimentary full pour with the add-on, while the event description says sneak-peek guests may purchase full glasses. If that detail matters to your decision, ask the Depot to confirm the terms before buying.

Regional beer, selected wines and more than one way to take part
The tasting pairs beers from regional craft brewers with specialty wines from around the world selected by The Gourmet Cellar. The event description also names local brewers, sommeliers, chefs, artists and businesses among the people contributing to the evening. The Depot lists its Signature Fauxtail and other non-alcoholic drinks alongside the alcoholic tastings.
Appetizers, a silent auction, a wine pull and music by Jazz Nectar Trio round out the main event. The organizer gives examples of auction categories—overnight getaways, fine art, dining and local-business offerings—but does not identify those as a confirmed item list for this edition. The ticket listing also mentions raffle prizes.

Two arrival windows
The early hour is a separate add-on, not part of the main-event ticket. It brings forward access to samples and the auction preview; the tasting, auction and music continue during the 6:30–8:30 p.m. main event.
