The Lighthouse Lounge, a bar at Lighthouse ArtSpace Chicago (108 W. Germania Pl.) alongside Chicago's attraction Immersive Van Gogh, originally only accessible by exhibition ticket-holders, has expanded entry to accommodate the public, and is now hosting regular events. On Tuesday, Nov. 30, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Lighthouse Lounge will be hosting the Taste of France, an exclusive, culturally festive night of music and fine wine. Tickets are $95 and can be purchased here.  

Fine Vines is providing a diverse selection of 25 vintage cuvées from regions of France, including Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley and Rhone Valley. Guests are invited to order hors d’oeuvres along with live French chanson and jazz music performed by vocalist Christy Bennett, a classically trained singer with an appreciation towards French Jazz, and pianist, conductor, musical director, recording artist, composer and arranger Jo Ann Daugherty, whose work as a music director and keyboardist has led to her conducting and playing with touring Broadway productions like Jersey Boys, Motown the Musical and more.  
 
The full-service bar offers signature cocktails named after the artwork of Vincent van Gogh, including the Starry Night (Tito’s vodka, lime juice, Chambord, peach nectar), the Van Gogh Sunrise (Don Julio Blanco, orange juice, splash of grenadine, cherry garnish) and the Sevilla French (Tanqueray Seville gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, orange bitters topped with Taittinger champagne).
