WHY CALABRIA?

At the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, Calabria is a land of mountains, ancient vineyards, Mediterranean breezes, and centuries-old winemaking traditions.

It is also home to native grapes and wines that many American wine lovers have never experienced.

This evening is your opportunity to taste Calabria beyond the usual Italian wine classics — directly through the people who make it.

Two wineries. Six wines. One special evening dedicated to Calabria.

Limited tickets are available for each session to keep the tasting personal and interactive.
