Aperitivos, Digestivos & Amaro* ($)
8:30pm
The best kind of cocktail is one you can follow with another—light, flavorful, refreshing, and inviting without being overwhelmingly boozy. The Italians perfected this style of drink. In fact, they dedicated an entire cultural ritual to it: a delightful pause before dinner and as an aid for digestion after dinner. Join Vicki G from The Wine Merchant and our Spirit Guide Amy for a hands-on, one-of-a-kind experience that will help you celebrate the everyday. This interactive presentation will spark your creativity, teach you the art of Aperitivo, and inspire you to savor life’s little moments—before and after your evening meal. Guests must be at least 21 years of age to participate. The cost is $35 per person.
