Veneto Wine Dinner on Tuesday, 13th November 2012

Veneto food prepared by Claudio Pagnan, Chef from Castelfranco, Treviso & Davide from Eurowines

We have great pleasure of securing the service of Claudio Pagnan, a Chef from Castelfranco, Treviso (Stefano’s hometown).  It is one of our favourite restaurant when we go home and we always enjoy Claudio’s food.  He will be with us to prepare all the Venetian dishes for your enjoyment for one night only.

We are also welcoming Davide of Eurowines who will talk about Zenato wines.  Zenato produces some fantastic Santa Cristina, Ripassa and Amarone wines.  They have won many accolades for Ripassa Zenato and other wines which we will be served on the night.
