Bertani Wines at Lift with Chef Jefferson Alvarez

on

bertaniOn April 9th, we’re uncorking the wine event of the season. 

More than just a fun food and wine mixer, this exclusive and intimate event for 30 lucky people will showcase the award-winning wines of Bertani paired with culinary magic from Chef Jefferson Alvarez.

Established in the Verona region of Italy in 1857 by the Bertani brothers, the Bertani wine company is widely considered a pioneer in wine-making innovation, and is still one of the few that owns the vineyards where its grapes are grown.  As wine enthusiasts will attest, one sip and you’ll taste what makes the unique characteristics of Bertani so legendary.

A Bertani Ambassador will be on hand to tell the whole story with 5 feature pours; from the reception through the 4-course tasting menu.

Tickets are now on sale at $100 per person – but first, more on what we have in store for you including a 1967 Amarone.

Yes, you read that right.
