After two canceled editions, "ViniVeri Restaurants 2021" returns to the scene, putting the pandemic behind it, the great event of winemakers involving various restaurants throughout Italy with the novelty that this year the events will also extend to Slovenia and Spain dinners and tastings of the new vintages.
ViniVeri, a meeting place for small winemakers capable of transmitting their territories of origin, of telling the wines produced with respect for the environment and sustainability, involves 77 winemakers and 18 restaurants scattered throughout the peninsula, from South Tyrol to Sicily, to share the wines, the production approach, the essence of the different territories and the many personal stories marked by months of isolation.."Many regional and cross-border appointments where to revive - says Paolo Vodopivec, president of the ViniVeri Consortium - the atmosphere and spirit, of sharing stories and experiences, which has animated our annual event in Cerea for 17 years. But above all an extraordinarily different event which is both a tribute to those who have always been close to us and our way of supporting the many restaurateurs who have fought to keep the doors of their premises open during the emergency".
