Please be our guest for a Cafe Saint Ex and Banfi Wine tasting night. This is a five-course dinner pairing beautiful Italian wines with local, sustainable, and eco friendly food. Among the wines featured will be a fresh, crisp Gavi, a warm, luscious Amarone, and an elegant and unique sparkling red. This is truly a wonderful way to spend a late Valentine's, or come just for fun and learning! There will be a representative from Banfi on hand to talk about the wines and to answer questions.

Seats are $90 per person and do not include tax and gratuity.
