Wine by the Vines: Umbria – an Asheville Wine Dinner Series

Book your ticket to Italy! Wine by the Vines, an Asheville wine dinner series at Gemelli, takes place the third Wednesday of the month. Each dinner transports you to a different region. Explore Italy’s various regional cuisines and wine through this 5-course dinner and wine pairing. $65 per person. Gluten-free and vegetarian diets can be accommodated with advance notice.

The June 19th dinner focuses on Umbrian cuisine, which has a legacy of “cucina povera” (peasant cookery). This landlocked region benefits from local produce, legumes, cheeses, truffles, meats, and cured hams produced on its gentle hills. Native red grape varietals include Sangiovese and Sagrantino, a beloved red among wine connoisseurs.
