It really is a fun backstory on:

  • Our Philosophy
  • How Decisions are made
  • Where Solare is going

Let us know what you think!

I also take this opportunity to thank our amazing Solare Team. Especially Brian, Tommy, Paola, Shana, and Chef Denice – we have worked together shoulder-to-shoulder from the very start – 12 incredible years.

And a huge amount of appreciation to our VIPs, our customers, and so many supporters. You make this all such a beautiful experience.

Grazie Mille!
