Venetian Wines, Venetian Cichetti, Food & Wine Matching, 2 March 2015

There’s more to Italian food than pasta and pizza; in fact each region has its own unique cuisine and in Venice this comes in the form of cicchetti, little morsels of food perfect for accompanying a glass of wine. This evening we’ll be seeing which local wine you think pairs best with these dishes, and learning about the vast array of styles produced here as well. We’ll try 12 different wines, from Venice, and surrounding regions closely influenced by the Venetian Republic, and match them with six mini Venetian dishes, put together by our head chef. Cin cin!
