December 20th and 21st - Hotel Demidoff - Pratolino - Firenze
Welcome to the first edition of "Natale & Cantine" ("Christmas & Wineries")!
On December 20th and 21st, in the marvellous landscape of the florentine hills, at the Demidoff Hotel, wine makers and wine lovers will meet for two days of tasting, guided workshops by the florentine ONAV delegation (ONAV: National wine tasters organization) and good cooking!
The central theme of the 2008 edition will be "The Sangiovese wines", but there will be also white wines as the Vernaccia di San Gimignano and prestigious labels from other regions.
Gathered in the same place, the wineries taking part to the event will be able to tell their "wine" stories and let consumers discover their products directly, as in the cellar, in the informal and cheerful atmosphere of the weekend before Chistmas. "Natale & Cantine" will be a chance to celebrate the end of the year, share projects and ideas for 2009 and let also "not expert" people approach the world of wine. » Programme
