of Traditional Beverages
Vino Veneto

Vino Veneto celebrates the fifth centenary of architect Andrea Palladio (1508–2008), whose country villas inspired Homewood's design. Wine enthusiast Bill Corace will discuss winemaking in the Veneto, the vine-covered region of Italy between Verona and Venice that produces more varieties of wine than any other in Italy. Enjoy a sampling of four of the region's most important wines—Prosecco, Soave, Valpolicella, and Amarone—and hors d'oeuvres provided by Donna's. WYPR's Andy Bienstock will serve as master of ceremonies.
