The Arc of Essex County’s Uncorked and Uncapped tasting event successfully relaunched on September 25 at the Hanover Manor in East Hanover, returning for its seventh year after a hiatus since 2020. The benefit event featured more than 30 food, beer, wine, and spirits vendors who offered tastings of their favorite dishes and drinks, as well as live music and a virtual auction that featured getaways, event tickets, unique experiences, and more.

The event was made possible thanks to the incredible support of sponsors, including Platinum Sponsor PSEG and Gold Sponsors The HILB Group and Walsh Pizzi O’Reilly Falanga. Proceeds from the sponsorships, event tickets, and virtual auction support The Arc’s services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

The Arc of Essex County thanks the nearly 200 guests and volunteers who made the return of this special event such a success, as well as the many vendors who helped keep the energy so warm and upbeat.
