Forget football, cheap beer and bar food, spend Sunday afternoon sipping fine wines, enjoying live entertainment and devouring dishes from top chefs at the 15th annual Vendemmia Da Vinci Wine & Food Celebration from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Wilmington/ Christiania Hilton Hotel.
Expect the same great food, wine and music as years past, just with a slightly different format.
“We are excited to bring a new indoor format to Vendemmia Da Vinci,” says Joe Richichi, the event chairman for the DaVinci Society. “Four renowned chefs will present an array of culinary masterpieces complemented by fine wines.”
Chef Pat D’Amico is one of America’s Best Chefs as nominated and recommended by peers in the culinary industry. He has worked at distinguished Wilmington restaurants such as Domaine Hudson and Harry’s Savoy Grill.
Chef Giuseppe Furio, currently of Trattoria in Bear and previously of V&M Bistro in North Wilmington, is noted for his authentic Italian cuisine that uses only the finest and freshest ingredients.
Chef John Constantinou is the executive chef and owner of Walter’s Steakhouse on Union Street in Wilmington. When his family began their first restaurant in the 1940’s, the premise was simple: keep the people coming back, with the finest food and products available. Serving the finest meat available guarantees two things wanted most in beef: flavor and tenderness.
Chef Robert Fratticcioli is the executive chef at the Wilmington/Christiana Hilton. He brings more than 26 years of meticulously crafted upscale American cuisine, combined with his original, innovative style of emphasizing regional culinary practices.
When your belly is full and wine glass refilled, enjoy live music from the smooth sounds of Steve Silicato, opera star and Best of Delaware winner Andrea Arena and performer Ralph Salerno.
