On Monday, March 2nd, the Favati family is hopping a flight from their Italian vineyard to Il Casale in Belmont to pour their wines for you. This wine-y feast will take you deep into the hills of Campania with six courses prepared by the chef paired with six wines from Cantine I Favati. You’ll be welcomed at 6:30pm with a flute full of spumante and black bass crudo, then sit for five more rounds of southern Italian flavor on your plate and in your glass. Tickets are $120; get ’em while they’re hot.
