French International Celebrates Fête du Vin

On October 4, French International community members came together for a night of community and philanthropy at our annual Fête du Vin event.

Fête du Vin is a French International fundraiser celebrating the diversity and culture of Oregon’s wine industry while raising important funds for the school. This year, 14 Oregon wineries participated, and Chandelier bar provided cocktails, giving attendees a variety of beverages to try.

During the event, French International parents Alex Fredrickson, Megan Hall, Kraig Kraft, and Heather Zornetzer held two wine-tasting seminars. Participants learned about “old world” and “new world” wines, and compared wines from France and Oregon. 

The Fête wine marketplace was open to attendees and the rest of the French International community. The wineries donated 25% of the proceeds from the wine orders to French International, and this year’s event raised $23,147 for the school.

The event would not have been possible without the Fête committee members and the help of the day-of volunteers who kept things running smoothly. Thank you to the volunteers, attendees, and wine and food partners for making this year’s Fête du Vin a success!
