Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with a variety of stations from leading restauranteurs, featuring Irvine Vodka Martini Impossibles among other experiences, followed by a sit down dinner with each course prepared by a different South Florida leading culinary master, expertly paired with wines from Breakthru Bevarage partners, Vineyard Brands and Umani Ronchi along with Gundlach Bundschu. The Umani Ronchi story is one of ancient vines, land, and people. It began more than half a century ago at Cupramontana, in the heart of Verdicchio Classico country, and has spread further. Today, Umani Ronchi is owned by the Bianchi-Bernetti family, who since 1959 have been making superb quality craft wines, coaxing the best out of the Verdicchio and Montepulciano grapes that find their finest expression in the Marche and Abruzzo regions. Gundlach Bundschu is one of California’s oldest family-owned wineries, founded in 1858. Located in the Sonoma Valley, it’s renowned for its commitment to producing high-quality wines, particularly varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.
