  • We Do Good Work Tour: Tour of Spain at Boni's Bar Next Door

    When: Saturday, September 26, 1:00–3:00 PM
    Where: Boni's Bar Next Door
    Tickets: $65


    We're bringing Spain to Austin for our next We Do Good Work Tour stop. We’re headed to Boni'sand with the help of the Austin Wine & Food Foundation (AWFF) its sure to be an amazing time. Our hosts for the day are Jess Maher and Todd Duplechan, the owners of Boni’s and local favorite Lenoir. They’re incredibly excited to welcome you into their space and share their story of doing good work while running some of Austin's best restaurants. 

    You'll start out on Boni's patio with a welcome drink, a vermouth-based toast to kick things off right. Then we'll head inside for a little wine education. In collaboration with the Austin Wine and Food Foundation, we will be walked through New World versus Old World wines and how they differ.

    After that, it's time to eat. Think Spanish tapas and paella, paired with wines AWFF picked just for this event.

    Every ticket you buy goes toward Good Work Austin's ability to support local food workers, helping create pathways to living-wage jobs, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and ensuring workers have the training, resources, and support they need to build stable, thriving careers in the food industry. So come for the wine and the paella, and know you're doing some good while you sip.

    Please note, parking is limited at this location. We highly encourage carpooling or grabbing a rideshare to make things easier on everyone. This event is 21 and older only.
