The Spritz team was thrilled to support TEL HI’s largest fundraising event for the 2nd year running at the 13th annual Taste of TEL HI. The highly anticipated event kicked off on Friday, May 8 at the iconic San Francisco City Hall. This year was especially noteworthy as the organization was celebrating 125 years of service to the San Francisco community.

The evening began with an elegant cocktail reception under the City Hall rotunda featuring menu previews from top chefs and some of the Bay Area best wines. Our team loved Twenty Five Lusk’s Truffled Mushroom Cheesecake and Scoma’s Crab Louis salad! Sponsors of the event also kept the crowd entertained: attendees could take a picture with Mayor Ed Lee’s wax figure from Madame Tussaud’s and had the chance to win a Celebrity Cruises modern luxury gift basket!

The live auctions, emceed by CBS Foodie Chap Liam Mayclem, took place during the seated dessert course. One of this year’s highly anticipated live auction packages included an exciting Celebrity Cruises European trip for two, which sold for $3,500! We were thrilled to play such an integral role in this year’s event and are looking forward to what 126 years brings!
