Event Details

Grand Cru Wine Merchants and Francesca's Tavola have teamed up once again for a wonderful evening of food and wine featuring the portfolio of Small Vineyards on Tuesday, Nov 17th.

Small Vineyards is an importer focusing on small family estates throughout Italy and Spain. They are commited to finding off the beaten path, artisan producers that continue their families life work rather than making a quick buck. Daniel Parrott from Small Vineyards will be on hand to guide us through the wines and to answer any questions.

Dinner starts promptly at 7pm and is $55 per person (plus tax & gratuity). For more information or to make a reservation please phone 847-394-3950
