To commemorate 10 years of wining, dining and shopping along the Brandywine River, Simon Pearce on the Brandywine welcomes its namesake and renowned glassblower, Simon Pearce. A meet and greet for both customers and the press, this special event kicks off a series of 10th Anniversary celebrations that will take place December 10th-12th. On Saturday, November 20, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Mr. Pearce will be signing his handcrafted glass and pottery (purchased on the day of this special event) for customers. Along with the signing, the restaurant and retail store will be hosting three additional events in December:
- On Friday, December 10, from 6 to 8:00 p.m. the celebration continues with an intimate wine & hors d’oeuvres tasting featuring Simon Pearce’s private-label wine. At this invitation-only gathering, guests will receive a custom designed tea-light with a thank you note from Simon.
- On Saturday, December 11, from 3-5 p.m., the retail store will host a wine tasting led by E & J Gallo Winery. Along with sampling interesting wines, customers will have an opportunity to purchase a Limited Edition Simon Pearce Anniversary Piece. Signed “Simon Pearce 2010,” these signature vases will be available at the retail store from 11/20 through the holidays, and in limited quantities.
- To conclude the festivities, the retail store will hold an artisanal cheese & wine tasting on Sunday, December 12, from 3 to 5 p.m. This tasting will also feature Simon Pearce’s private label reserve, and the cheese will be supplied by Amazing Acres (Elverson, PA).
