Valle Wine Dinner
Thursday, May 19th
7:00 PM
Valle Vineyards offers the ideal land for wine growing in Friuli, Italy. Luigi Valle, founder of Valle Vineyards, was the forerunner to use modern wine cellar technology, which is now widespread. Even though they used modern technology, they never forgot the importance of tradition. Today, Valle Vineyards can say that Luigi Valle’s dreams have become a reality – to have a wine cellar with avant-garde technology and to produce fine wines.
