Romeo & Juliet: Wines of Verona

Adult Education / Cook and Taste -

Adult WS2025

Star-crossed lovers unite! Take a stroll through the charming medieval town of Verona, the picturesque home of Romeo and Juliet, and home to one of the jewels of the world of wine–Amarone. Its production is truly a labor of love…harvested in whole bunches, left to rest and wither in the attics of the region exposed to the delightful air of the Veneto… and wait. After pressing, the wine is then aged in barrels for two to five years. Amarone is remarkably age-worthy and an unexpectedly versatile pairing partner for food.

Join us for a deep dive into the wines of Italy's Veneto including Prosecco, Soave, Amarone, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Valpolicella along with paired Italian-inspired hors d'oeuvres by Baker’s Best.
