Rosé season got a philanthropic twist this June as ARF Hamptons welcomed guests to its newest summer celebration: Rescues & Rosé. Hosted by ARF’s Young Professionals Committee, the afternoon affair blended signature Hamptons summer style with a heartwarming cause, pairing fine wine with furry friends in need of forever homes.
Set on ARF’s East Hampton campus, the inaugural event quickly made a name for itself with a laid-back atmosphere and luxurious touches. Guests mingled over rosé courtesy of Wölffer Estate Vineyard and wines by Channing Daughters, while sipping specialty cocktails and local brews from Kidd Squid Brewing Co. Elevated hors d’oeuvres by Sen kept the mood festive, as live music by Pedrose set the summer tone.
But it was ARF’s adoptable cats and dogs who stole the spotlight. As guests posed for photos and exchanged cuddles with the four-legged VIPs, it became clear that Rescues & Rosé was more than a soirée, it was a celebration of community and compassion.
Spotted among the stylish crowd were Kim Nichols, Katherine Rayner, Peter Cook and Alba Jancou, and many more Hamptons notables, alongside members of the Young Professionals Committee including Lindsay Berman, Hana Betts, Skylar Borucke, Meghan Bozek, and Alyssa Moudis.
With its feel-good energy and mission-driven heart, Rescues & Rosé made a strong debut—one
that promises to become a new summer social staple. For more on ARF’s work and adoptable animals, visit arfhamptons.org.
