About Bethany Ford, Illahe National Sales Manager, Owner, and Grape Stomer: Bethany fell in love with Pinot Noir in the Santa Ynez Valley while she was earning a BFA in art in Los Angeles. Inspired by the craft and process of making wine, and having always wanted to live in the Northwest, she moved to Oregon in 2005. Bethany joined the team at Illahe Vineyards in 2009 after gaining experience with some of Oregon's top wineries. Her sales experience drove Illahe's success in transitioning from a winery with a small distribution radius to achieving recognition in 35 markets internationally. At harvest, you can find her in work boots doing lab work, punch downs, and fruit sorting – she often cooks lunch for the entire crew, as well. Bethany has a WSET Level 2 Award for Wine and Spirits. She is also the mom of two adorable little ones, Beckett and Miette, and is head winemaker Brad Ford's wife. Things to Note:One-week cancellation policyWe are within two blocks of both the Main Street Metra and Main Street "L" stopsYou'll be sampling seven wines: please eat prior to class! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/evanston/an-evening-with-bethany-ford-owner-of-illahe-winery/100001987149371262 - **Event Categories**: Art, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 55.2, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Evanston - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: The Wine Goddess - **lat**: 42.0338714 - **long**: -87.68070519999998 - **full address**: The Wine Goddess, 702 Main Street, Evanston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Bethany Ford, Owner of Illahe Winery - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/4691b0024eab0ed95f41248fa3604bf4b4f05cc0b9e2993e01abe75804c48882-rimg-w189-h267-dcdfd9d4-gmir.jpg?v=1775894530 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Bethany Ford, Owner of Illahe Winery being held? - **A:** An Evening with Bethany Ford, Owner of Illahe Winery takes place on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at The Wine Goddess, 702 Main Street, Evanston, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for An Evening with Bethany Ford, Owner of Illahe Winery? - **A:** Tickets for An Evening with Bethany Ford, Owner of Illahe Winery are priced at USD 55 per person.
