Join Lia Tolaini Banville for an Engaging Wine Discovery Tasting

This year's tasting will be hosted by Lia Tolaini Banville, offering a fun, interactive, and informative journey through some of the world's most celebrated wine regions.

Together, we'll taste a selection of well-known grape varieties from different countries and terroirs, exploring how climate, soil, and geography shape a wine's character. You'll discover that great wines are defined by far more than the grape itself—where a wine is grown can have an extraordinary impact on what ends up in your glass.

Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or simply curious to learn more, this tasting is designed to help you better understand your own palate, identify your preferences, and gain confidence when selecting wines.
Come ready to taste, learn, ask questions, and most importantly—have fun!

Featured wines include selections from Italy, France, New Zealand and the USA offering a unique opportunity to compare styles and discover new favorites.

Limited seating available—reserve your spot today!
