sipping Italy
December 16, 2021 – VIP event of the year all about wines and Italian geography. We had a fabulous journey from Alto Adige to Sicily, tasting six wines and learning about the Belpaese. We embarked on a sensory journey through some of the most diverse and fascinating Italian regions and their wines. We tasted and learning about 5 hand-picked wines by Joshua Walker, owner and sommelier at Wine & Company while Stefano, a born and raised in Italy former National Geographic tour leader, introduced the regions with anecdotes and interesting stories. The tasting included a welcome bubbly drink as well as Italian cheeses and charcuterie.

The Dante Alighieri Society of Charleston, introduced the Society to a new audience in Greenville, SC. The evening was very special thanks to the amazing hospitality of Lauren and Phil Hughes. Their gorgeous Italian-inspired home was the perfect venue for the mini Opera concert by Charleston Opera Theater. Phil Hughes and Donatella della Porta welcomed the guests and introduced the performers, soprano Saundra DeAthos, tenor Harold Meers and Maestro Wojciech Milewski at the piano. The audience was delighted with the performance, which included very well known and challenging arias, from Madama Butterfly to L’elisir d’amore and Suor Angelica.
