ITALIAN WINE AND CHEESE EVENT
Hosted by The Villa Marco Polo Inn & The Restaurant Coach
Italy is a heaven for lovers of delectable cheeses and fine wines. Italy’s wine world is as diverse and appealing as its landscape. Take a journey through the vineyards of northern Italy: Piedmont, Tuscany, Veneto, Fruilli-Vezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Marches, Puglia, Sicily and others in a luxurious Venetian atmosphere of the beautiful Villa Marco Polo Inn. Increase your knowledge, and discover the profusion of colours, scents and flavours that make Italian wines so special. You will also sample an assortment of cheeses that pair nicely with each wine.
