For more than 10 years, KANDU and its sponsors, guests, and volunteers have come together for a spectacular wine and beer tasting event in the most unique of locations. Hosted in the Revv Aviation hangar located at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport, Grapes & Hops guests travel through a concourse of theme-based displays and sample a variety of specialty wine and beer poured by local “celebrities.”

The 2025 event featured live music from Chicago’s Mike Dangeroux Band, and a live auction of a variety of lavish experience packages including trips and excursions, with all proceeds benefiting KANDU’s mission of creating, promoting, and providing diverse opportunities for people with disabilities or disadvantages and offering them the ability to pursue greater independence and explore their limitless potential.
