Orlando Science Center’s intoxicatingly educational Science and Wine fundraiser is this weekend

The Orlando Science Center’s Science and Wine fundraising gala is back for a 13th year this weekend — and probably not a moment too soon, with DOGE goons having thoroughly ransacked the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The evening includes live music, food tastings, wine samples and science demos. Music comes by way of Hannah Stokes, Andrew Williams Band, Heather DeSanctis and Lévie. Programming includes “Sip, Smell, Savor: A Wine and Jelly Belly Pairing Experiment with UCF’s Dr. Robin Back” (unorthodox, but we’ll allow it!) and “Waking Up with Coffee & Winding Down with Wine.” Vittles arrive courtesy of 4 Rivers Smokehouse, Black Rooster Taqueria, Flûtes Champagne Bar, Chuan Fu, Crisp & Green, Dubsdread Catering and more.

Fear not, you won’t be blinded by this science.

7 p.m. Saturday, April 26, Orlando Science Center, $110-$135.
