He continued, “From a sparkling welcome reception with arancini and prosecco to bold reds alongside rich mains, each course will be elevated by a wine that brings out its very best. We will also have a representative from the winery in attendance to share stories, insights, and tasting notes straight from the vineyard to your glass!”
