Description

Join us our Velenosi Vini Wine Dinner, an intimate 5-course dinner paired with wines from Velenosi Vini in the Marche Region! The Locanda Amalfi Team has partnered with our friends at Vias Imports Ltd. to pair a special 5-Course Dinner with incredible wines from Velenosi Vini in the Marche Region of Italy that celebrate Angela Velenosi. Angela Velenosi was ahead of her time when she opened the Velenosi Estate in the Marche, an Italian wine region, lying along the Adriatic coast. Her winemaking vision helped put Marche on the map as a viable wine producing area. Angela is an entrepreneur because she took the challenge and began the first woman to start a winery in Italy in the 1980s. Her passion for wine and her tenacity serves her well. Today, Velenosi is considered one of the largest family-owned wineries in Marche. As Angela states “ passion was in her blood.” The evidence shows in her achievements with the winery. Seats are limited, be sure to book yours now!
