Join us for an interactive evening exploring the world of amaro! Taste Amaricano your way at our custom amaro station, explore key botanicals, and enjoy a lively panel discussion with industry experts on amaro’s past, present, and future.
Mix, match, and make it your own! Build your perfect amaro at our interactive tasting station—brighten it with citrus, add fresh herbs, or top it with a splash of sparkling wine or water. Wander through our botanical table featuring gentian, wormwood, hibiscus, cacao nibs, and more, and snack on light bites while you sip.
The conversation will be moderated by Zach Geballe (Seattle-based sommelier, educator, and host of the award-winning VinePair podcast) and feature Dave Kaplan (co-founder of Death & Co.& CEO of Gin & Luck), Brad Thomas Parsons (James Beard Award–winning author of Amaro), and Jamie Hunt (Fast Penny Spirits founder). Bring your questions, we’d love this to be interactive and fun.
