For one special evening, Sicily meets Virginia at GRACE.

We're delighted to welcome Marilina Paternò, the woman behind Cantina Marilina, joining us from her family's winery in southeastern Sicily.

We'll gather around the tables, passing plates and pouring wines from Cantina Marilina as Marilina shares stories of her family's vineyards, their wines, and the place they call home.

A celebration of two places, the people who tend the land, and the wonderful things that happen when food and wine bring us together.

Tickets include a multi-course, family-style feast and wines from Cantina Marilina poured throughout the evening. $165 (excluding tax & gratuity) LIMITED SEATING
