This November, we're hosting our sixth annual Wine & Pie Fundraiser.

We've raised more than $60,000 for local food-related non-profits. Help us amplify our impact this year—and make your Thanksgiving meal prep easier—by purchasing a wine-and-pie package.

After five successful years and more than $60,000 raised, Les Dames d'Escoffier Greater Des Moines Chapter is hosting its fifth annual Wine & Pie Drive-By fundraiser on Saturday, Nov 22nd, from 10:30 am-12:30 pm.

This event supports:

  • The LDEI Greater Des Moines Give a Girl a Knife Scholarships

  • LDEI Greater Des Moines

Our slick pick-up will be on Nov 22nd, conveniently located at Wall to Wall Wine & Spirits in West Des Moines. We provide gourmet pies made by Des Moines’ top female food pros using top-quality ingredients and a bottle of Paso 46 Cabernet Sauvignon selected by leading local women sommeliers. Our Dames donate hundreds of hours and tons of talent, making dessert easier. Your pie package options include our top two favorite pies from years past:

  • Bourbon-Apple Pecan Crumble Pie 

  • Cherry Lattice Pie

  • Chocolate Pecan Pie

These gorgeous gourmet pies come frozen and ready to bake in a real pie plate. Each pie is paired with a 750-ml bottle of a delicious, full-bodied Paso 46 Cabernet Sauvignon chosen by one of our local Dame sommeliers.

Too busy to pick up a pie? Add “Local Delivery” before checking out and, for an additional fee, a Dame will deliver your order to your doorstep within the Des Moines metro area on Nov 22nd.
