Wines of the Italian Islands: Sardinia & Sicily

Wines of the Italian Islands: Sardinia & Sicily

Overview

Taste authentic food and wine pairings from Sicily and Sardinia and experience the magic, heritage and tradition of these islands.

Did you know that Italy has more than 400 islands in its archipelago?

We are bringing you the finest flavors from two of its largest: Sicily and Sardinia. With the unique microclimates come a diverse selection of wines that cannot be found anywhere else.

Our evening will take you on a tour of these islands via a delightful tasting journey. Wine flights are a fantastic way to explore the rich and varied world of Italian wine, and by sipping thoughtfully and engaging with the experience, you can expand your palate and discover new Italian favorites along the way.

At our Italian island inspired table, we invite you to indulge in a flight of four wines—two from Sicily, two from Sardinia. In addition, we will offer you a selection of traditional antipasti from each island.

With thousands (yes, thousands!) of years of history and culinary influences and traditions, these islands will surprise and delight you with all they have to offer.

Come for delighted palate, stay for the relaxed wine education you will receive and can replicate for your next italy-inspired evening!
