<a id="Solare-Antinori-Wine-Dinner"></a>Antinori Wine Dinner + Masterclass

February 25 - Antinori Wine Dinner + Masterclass

Ciao!   Here are the details for Thursday, Feb 25: 

  • 6pm – Italian Wine Dinner here at Solare
  • 4:30pm – Tuscan Wine Masterclass at the Solare Wine Market 

Both the Wine Dinner and the Masterclass is with Antinori Winery – the Legend of Tuscany.

NOTE!   The Wine Dinner is now Sold-Out.   There are openings yet for the Masterclass.

DINNER:

Antinori is arguably the most prestigious and well known winery in all of Italy. 

4-course Solare/Antinori Wine Pairing Dinner designed by Chef Filippo Piccini where each course is paired with carefully selected wines from their Guado al Tasso estate in Tuscany. 

Antinori can trace its history back to 1385 … and they played a large part in the “Super-Tuscan” revolution of the 1970s.  This is Antinori … and this Dinner features the incredible Guado al Tasso Estate “Super Tuscan” wine.   This dinner will be epic.

Wine Dinner Details:

  • Feb 25, Thursday, at 6pm
  • $96 includes the 4-course pairing dinner and 5 delicious Antinori Wines
  • includes:  Guado al Tasso Estate (Super Tuscan icon) and Cont-Ugo (100% Merlot) – and 3 other great Antinori surprises hand-picked by me
  • Meet Niccoló Maltinti and Silvio di Silvio
  • On our heated patios – tables safely distanced
  • Reserve your table asap – very limited seating

Tuscan Masterclass at the Solare Wine Market:

Come meet Niccoló Maltinti and Silvio di Silvio!  They will both be at the Solare Wine Market from 4pm to 6pm highlighting many of their Tuscan wines.  

Two key things happening that afternoon:  1) they will lead a Tuscan Wine Masterclass at 4:30pm for $18/person – and 2) on a “first come first served” basis for the Masterclass we will be pouring tastes of the 2008 vintage of the Guado al Tasso Super Tuscan – and more.
