The annual Water Tasting by the Sea benefit to raise money for Vineyard House takes place Thursday, Aug. 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Vineyard House is the Island’s only sober living community, serving as transitional housing for those coming out of recovery programs. It was founded in 1997 and last year moved to its new location in Vineyard Haven.

The event includes food and a sampling of sparkling and still waters, on a site overlooking Katama Bay.
