The "Grand Venetian" tailor made wine pairing lunch

Enjoy an impossible elsewhere vertical tasting & tailor-made perfect wine pairing lunch of astonishing Venetian white Cru

Grape producer for generations, Graziano Prà bottles his first very personal Soave Classico at the beginning of the 80s.

In 2015 he buys the estate on Monte Bisson, a small hill in Soave, at the top of which there is a Venetian tower from the 1400s.

“Newcomer“ evidently works well, very well, and makes a career quickly: the Amarone della Valpolicella” Morandina “2015 gets 93 pts from J. Suckling, the Soave Classico Otto 2017 is in the Top 100 of Wine Spectator and the 2020 vintage gets 93 pts by J. Suckling.

The perfect experience for lovers of great wines who love to talk to producers and relax in the midst of the nature of the fields and vineyards.

Guided by an expert Ambassador you will walk, visit the cellars, taste the wines of the Wine Spectator Top 100 and a truly unique lunch of pairing typical local dishes with the same wines.
