Olive Garden Wine Tastings! January 11, 2012

In celebration of their newly remodeled restaurants, the Olive Garden locations at 513 Academy Blvd. and 7815 N. Academy Blvd. are hosting a series of complimentary wine tasting events for guests 21 and older on Jan. 11, 12, 18 and 19, 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.
