Monday 9/19 to Monday 9/26: Narragansett Beer’s Neighbor Day Celebration Series Continues
Narragansett’s Neighbor Day Celebration tour is still going, so make sure to soak up the last of the month-long tour (in beer) and celebrate the final days. The crew has already hit Back Bay and Cambridge, but festivities continue this week in Allston/Brighton and Worcester. The ’Gansett team will visit its neighbors at bars and restaurants at each stop with games, giveaways (including “Hi Neighbor” 16-oz can coozies — hell yes) and, most importantly, shouts of beer on the house. Can’t make it out? Then grab a six-pack (Narragansett Fest, perhaps) and celebrate on your own. (Free, visit narragansettbeer.com, @GansettBeer, or Facebook.com/NarragansettBeer for exact locations, time updates, and event inquires.)

Thursday 9/22: Champagne Dinner at BOKX 109
BOKX 109 executive chef Jarrod Moiles invites guests to taste an exclusive menu created to mesh with champagne supplied by Ruinart, one of the oldest established champagne houses. The four-course meal includes a braised short rib with bordelaise sauce and roasted potato herb pancake paired with a Ruinart Rosé. ($65; 6 pm; BOKX 109 inside Hotel Indigo, 399 Grove St., Newton. For tickets, call 617-454-3399 or visit newtownbokx.com.)

Thursday 9/22: Oldways Italian Food, Wine and the Arts: A Collaborative Exhibition with Tastings at Belezza Home & Garden
Even if food weren’t enough of an allure, Oldways promises a top-notch trifecta of food, wine, and art. Suzanne Heller’s whimsical watercolors will be on display as guests sip and nibble on wine and cheese, provided by Ihsan Gurdal, owner of Formaggio Kitchen. Want to take it in closer to the city? The exhibition continues at Belezza Home & Garden from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6, and 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, at Martha Richardson Fine Art on Newbury Street. (6-8 pm; Belezza Home & Garden, 1021 Boylston St., Newton; 617-421-5500; oldwayspt.org.)

Friday 9/23: Cantina Frentana Wine Dinner at Tomasso
Winemakers from Abruzzo, Italy, grace Tomasso for a five-course menu that’s expertly paired from start to finish.

($65; 7:30 pm; Tomasso, 154 Turnpike Road, Southborough. For reservations, call 508-481-8484, tomassotrattoria.com.) — Becca Fox
