Join SA food identity Rosa Matto and friends together with WEA's wine tutor, David Crossman for this celebration of one of Italy's most diverse culinary regions, Veneto. From the fertile plains around Verona and Vicenza and the Alpine influences of the Dolomites, Rosa will present an engaging menu that tells the story of the region through its geography and history.
Veneto is a land where mountains meet the sea, where merchants met farmers, and where every meal tells the story of trade, tradition and the changing seasons.
Venice, itself, exists as part of the region and traditions but then again very much its own city with an extraordinary legacy from the Spice Roads.
Venice became one of Europe's wealthiest cities by controlling trade with the East.
So, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, raisins and pine nuts all found their way into Venetian cooking, which is why dishes like Sarde in Saor combine sweet and sour flavours and speak to us of Arabic traders.
The Veneto region is Italy�s second-largest rice-producing region after Piedmont.
The marshy plains around Verona and the Po Valley make rice cultivation possible, giving rise to celebrated risotto.
Dishes include two small cicchetti, Tortina di Baccala, Savoury Cannoli, Pesce in Saor, Risotto All'Amarone , Duck sausage with polenta and radicchio and the sweet finale must be Tiramisu made by following a traditional Trevisano recipe with our own summer twist.
Stimulate your tastebuds with a lively sparkling Prosecco from its place of origin.
Enjoy a crisp Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie with its pear, lime and floral notes.
Experience Bardolino, a unique blend of local indigenous red varieties and merlot.
An experience not to be missed.
This course runs for 1 session x 3 hours.
