Olive Garden Wine Tastings! November 9, 2011

In celebration of their newly remodeled restaurants, the Olive Garden at 2390 S Havana St. is hosting a series of complimentary wine tasting events for guests 21 and older on Nov. 9, 10, 16 and 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. The new restaurant design is inspired by the charm and warmth of farmhouses in Tuscany.

Led by Olive Garden wine specialists, guests will be given the opportunity to experience a selection of Italian wines—learning about their origins, flavors and food pairings. Among the wines featured will be Rocca delle Macie’s SaSyr, a red wine that was developed in partnership with the Rocca delle Macie winery in Tuscany, Italy.

All guests of the newly remodeled restaurants will find an updated interior décor including new window treatments, hand-painted pottery, tables, chairs and booths inspired by the warm, rustic tones and design elements of a farmhouse in Tuscany. Exterior updates include freshly painted walls and signage.

*There is a $.25 cent fee per sample required at the wine tasting events at the Fairfield restaurant in compliance with local law.
