This special tasting class will focus on the art of aperitivo – the delightful prelude to the art of Italian dining. The aperitivo course holds deep cultural and social importance in Italian meals as an appetite stimulant, a form of socializing, and a way to continue family traditions and recipes.
Wine and aperitivi go together as beautifully as you'd imagine, and this evening will feature a guided tasting of multiple pairings. From sparkling wine with bruschetta, through Pinot Grigio Ramato and bagna cauda, and all the way to inky Italian reds, you'll taste a delicious range of tradition.
Join Greenvale Vineyards for a unique wine and food class that promises to transport you to the heart of Italian culinary culture.
