Eataly Boston to Host Venica & Venica Estate

Family owned since 1930, Venica & Venica estate is one of the most prestigious wineries in the region of Friuli. Giampaolo recently took over the winery with his sister and cousins, making the estate four generations strong. White wine thrives in the Venica vineyards, which are spread on seven different hills, surrounded by forest and co-planted with fruit trees.

This dinner will allow Giampaolo to showcase his wines, including several white wines and even one red! Each of their bright, lush and always aromatic styles will pair beautifully with the menu designed by our brilliant Eatalian Chefs.

Join the French Cultural Center for a wine  tasting and dinner with La Voile.

Epicureans rejoice! To kick-off the French Cultural Center’s season of wine tastings, they will explore the lovely wines of Alsace with a wine tasting, followed by a separate three-course pairing dinner.

Come discover the lesser-known wines of Alsace, presented by Alexandre Sojfer, Resident Sommelier at La Voile and 1855 Bar à Vins. Alex will share his expertise working with vineyards from Alsace and why this region’s grounds are so prolific yet less available to the American market than other varietals.

Event in English. Advance RSVP strongly recommended. The general tasting is a standing event – this is not a sit-down seminar. Please email culture@frenchculturalcenter.org to request a seat/chair, if needed.

The following dinner is a sit-down three-course dinner in the French Cultural Center’s Library.
