In these uncertain Covid times the Museo has decided to merge the Wine Tasting originally scheduled for January 29, 2022 and the Festa di Carnevale Event to give people the possibility to attend in person in multiple locations or online.
The new event will take place at the Museo Italo Americano at Fort Mason on February 26th where the event will be broadcasted virtually. Alternatively, you can attend in person at the San Francisco Wine School or online via Zoom from the comfort of your home. Both Zoomers and Roomers will have an immersive, engaging experience.
Spuntino e Dolci will be provided for those attending at the Museo and we encourage guests to dress in festive Carnevale attire and masks!
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
San Francisco Wine School proudly presents another exciting edition of Battle of the Grapes 🍇 Northern Italy vs Southern Italy benefiting the Museo Italo Americano and their Italian and Italian-American art and culture programs. This live, hybrid event hosted by Master Sommelier and Founder of San Francisco Wine School, David Glancy, will feature a tasting of 8 Italian, varietal wines from 4 grape varieties (Vermentino, Chardonnay, Sangiovese, and Merlot) with one from Northern Italy and one from Southern Italy. Throughout the evening, we’ll uncover the history of these 4 grapes, the origin of the wines, and some blind tasting techniques to help us identify their region.
EVENT INSTRUCTIONS:
The wine tasting kit will be at the Museo for people attending the Festa di Carnevale, but you need to register for “pick up” at checkout and send an email to help@sfwineschool.com letting the Wine School know you’ll be attending at the Museo.
