Hartford “All-Ivy” Spring 2025 Vineyard Outing
By popular demand, we're excited to share that we'll be returning to Crystal Ridge Winery this spring for our next Hartford "All-Ivy" vineyard outing! As the weather gets warmer and before summer adventures begin, come spend time with our fellow Yalies and our fellow Hartford Ivy peers for a relaxed outdoor after-work event!
Join us on Thursday, May 8th from 5:30-8:00 PM for after work drinks at Crystal Ridge Winery (257 Belltown Rd, South Glastonbury)! For most, this should be a quick and scenic ~20 minute trip from Downtown Hartford along Route 2, allowing those interested to readily go from work to the vineyard and then home. As with all our "All-Ivy" events, alumni from all Ivy clubs in Greater Hartford are welcome, modeling the "All-Ivy" events often held in places like NYC, Boston, the Bay Area and beyond. (Want to see what our last vineyard outing was like? Take a look at our Hartford "All-Ivy" photo album!)
This event is FREE to attend! Additionally, guests will be able to enjoy wine tastings and glasses of wine and craft beer for purchase from Crystal Ridge. There will also be complimentary summer BBQ food catered by Bears BBQ (to include vegetarian options), as well as a food truck on-site from another tasty CT eatery!
Naturally, we very much want this to be an outdoor event, so we have planned a rain date just in case! The rain date is a week later (5/15), with the same start and end times. If it looks like the weather won't cooperate on the 8th, we'll send out an announcement a few days in advance, and we will make sure our RSVP'd guests in particular are made aware.
There is no dress code for this event – simply come as you are after work on May 8th for as much or as little time as your schedule allows. You are welcome to bring guests, too. Finally, for those who would like someone else to do the driving for this event, we'll help those interested find other event guests to share an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare to or from Crystal Ridge.
We expect lots of interest in this event, so please RSVP as soon as you can (even if your plans are tentative!) so we can make sure we have you on our guest list!
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions about this event (info@yaleclubhartford.org). We're excited to see you on May 8th as we all celebrate the start of summer!

Hartford “All-Ivy” Winter 2025 Night at the Museum
With the holidays now behind us, lots of us are looking for a winter reprieve! What better way to spend a winter's night after work next month than at a cocktail reception for our Hartford "All-Ivy" community at one of Greater Hartford's top arts and culture spots?
On Thursday, January 23rd from 5:30-7:30 PM, our Hartford "All-Ivy" group will have private access to the New Britain Museum of American Art (56 Lexington St, New Britain)! Join us for drinks, plenty of food, and the chance for short docent-led tours of the exhibits at NBMAA. Getting to NBMAA is just a quick, 15-20 minute trip from Downtown Hartford. And as with other Hartford "All-Ivy" events, alumni from all Ivy clubs in Greater Hartford are welcome, along with their guests!
Tickets are just $20 per person, and include the chance to see the exhibits at NBMAA (general museum admissions is usually $20 on its own) PLUS plenty of food for our group! There will also be drinks available from a cash bar. We expect lots of our alumni will register for this event, so claim your tickets before they're gone!
Should we need to reschedule this event due to wintry weather, details about rescheduling will be shared with registrants at least 24 hours before our event time on January 23rd.
There is no dress code for this event – simply come as you are after work on January 23rd for as much or as little time as your schedule allows. You are welcome to bring guests, too! (Just remember to buy tickets for them.) Finally, for those who would like someone else to do the driving for this event, we're happy to help guests form small groups to share an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare to or from NBMAA.
Once again, please claim your tickets early so we can make sure to save a spot for you and your guests for this event!
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions (info@yaleclubhartford.org). We're excited to share belated toasts for a Happy New Year when we see you on January 23rd!
