Food & Wine of Italy’s Campania Region
“I am head over heels about the food and wine of Campania! From made-that-morning bufala mozzarella to eggplant parmesan, fritto misto, to drooling over ragu Napoletana. And then there’s the wine! The noble, incredibly age-worthy and enigmatic Fiano and Taurasi; as well as Piedirosso, Falanghina, Greco di Tufo and other crazy things that nobody knows about. Until now” … says the enthusiastic Sommelier Jessica Garver.
There are two options, so choose your own adventure:
1. Interactive Wine Class
Sommelier Jessica Garver will lead guests through an in-depth afternoon tasting of the wines from Campania, paired with individually plated cheese, charcuterie and antipasti from the region.
