Wine Zones#2

Wine tasting series introducing hidden gems and emerging stars

On September 28th we continue our Wine Zone Series, a meticulously designed wine tasting that takes us on a journey to explore the undiscovered treasures of the world of Italian winemaking.
In this, our second episode, we invite you to savor Valentina’s exclusive selection of Tuscan red wines - including the ever popular super Tuscan as well as a Special Chianti Riserva and a fantastic Brunello di Montalcino. We have created a unique four course menu to thoughtfully pair each wine to enhance your experience.
