Our next Wine Class explores wines from Allegrini Winery on Wednesday, April 22 from 5:30pm-7:00pm.

Taste the “Best of Valpolicella” at our next wine tasting and class. We will feature six wines from Allegrini Winery, including the most famous Amarone Wine. Now in its sixth century of wine making, Allegrini is considered the best winery of the Valpolicella region of Italy. This class is limited to 22 people and will be the last class before our summer recess. 

The Allegrini family has played a leading role in the history of Valpolicella since the 16th century and has passed the culture of wine making handed down from one generation to the next. At the wine tasting, you will explore several wines that come from the family's 100 hectares of Hillside vineyards, including Amarone wine, which is produced in such a unique way that it will age for more than 40 years.

We'll taste six wines, here are a few of the highlights:
