Wine Tasting

In Italy, Amarone is often referred to as “The King of Wine.” Amarone della Valpolicella – which is usually just called Amarone – is a rich, dry Italian red wine typically made from dried Corvina grapes, Rondinella, and some other approved grape varieties.

Located near Verona, in the Veneto region of Italy, Valpolicella has been the home of intriguing wines since ancient times.

On Saturday, February 24th, from 2 to 4 PM, Veneto Ristorante will host a wine tasting class with a focus on three different Amarone wines, as well as three more wines also made in Valpolicella.

Seating is limited (21 and over, obviously), and the cost per person for the class/tasting is $50.

To reserve your place for the Amarone class, call 801-359-0708.
