Escape to Europe Without Leaving Houston: Heights & Co. Hosts Al Fresco Wine & Movie Nights

Escape to Europe Without Leaving Houston: Heights & Co. Hosts Al Fresco Wine & Movie Nights

The patio at Heights & Co.

IT'S ALMOST TIME for summer vacations, but Heights & Co. is offering escapes on its newly redecorated patio in the form of wine and movie nights — no passport needed! Visit France, Italy, Greece, Spain, and more through wine pairings and tasting menus, all complemented by movies set in each location.

The next destination is France on April 9, featuring the movie Ratatouille and a tasting menu that includes Lyonnaise Salad, Duck Confit, and White Fish Provençal. Other movies include Under the Tuscan Sun on April 23, My Big Fat Greek Wedding on May 8, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on May 15, and Clueless on May 29!

The Heights cocktail bar has partnered with EveryWine, a wine club and tasting room that opened during COVID, to select the wine pairings. Each event begins with a complimentary welcome cocktail — also themed to the movie! — and time to mingle before the movie starts at 7:30 PM. As a sweet touch, a S’mores Board will be available as a standing dessert offering at every event.

“As with all of our events at Heights & Co., our goal with Vacation by the Glass & Co. is to transport our guests with a sensory experience—great wine provided by our friends at EveryWine, delicious food, and a classic film to match the theme,” said Brian Doke, owner of Heights & Co. “It’s the perfect way to unwind and enjoy a little escape without leaving Houston.”

Tickets are priced at $35 per person, covering the curated wine selection and welcome cocktail. Food will be available for purchase separately on the night of the event.
