Northern Italian Wine Tasting, TiVo Melbourne
7 wines & Italian grazing boards
Your holiday wines, sorted! Join us at the brand-new TiVo Aperitivo Lounge, the perfect setting to explore the wines of Northern Italy. Taste seven beautiful wines from Veneto and Friuli, from golden Valdobbiadene Prosecco to a velvety, decadent Amarone, with a generous spread of Italian cheeses and charcuterie. Festive, fun and just a little bit glamorous!
Flying solo? You'll fit right in! Plenty of our guests come on their own, and there's no easier way to make new wine friends than over a glass of Italian wine.
Veneto and Friuli
Veneto and Friuli stretch from the canals of Venice to the foothills of the Alps, and few corners of Italy pack in so much beauty. Just inland from Venice, the steep, terraced hills of Valdobbiadene are home to Italy's finest Prosecco. On the southern shore of Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake, the vineyards of Lugana grow some of the country's most loved white wines, while in the hills above Verona, Valpolicella gives us Ripasso and the legendary Amarone, made from grapes dried for months before they're pressed.
Further east, Friuli runs right up to the Slovenian border. Here, the Collio and Isonzo vineyards enjoy cool Alpine breezes and Adriatic sunshine, producing some of Italy's most elegant wines. It's a part of the world made for long lunches, an aperitivo at sunset and the good life, and with the holidays around the corner, there's no better time to discover it.
