"Sagra delle Castagne" - Winter Tasting Night at Frank's

John & Bree Velluti invite you to join us on Saturday Night 28 June for Aperitivo 5.30pm-7.30pm inside our Haberfield Fruit Shop for our Sagra delle Castagne.

Your $50 ticket includes food prepared by local eateries and a wine tasting that will be focused around our featured seasonal ingredient - the castagna or chestnut. Come and learn how to prepare and cook this very nutritious and very delicious nut.

Wine enthusiast and expert, Stefano from Ramsay Street bottle shop Tappo & Co will profile each of the fine wines that you will be tasting and you will be able to buy wine on the night. 

Roberta Muir of Be Inspired: Food - Wine - Travel will lead our conversation around the versatility of the chestnut, how and where they are grown in Australia and their significance in Italian food culture and cooking. Roberta is a well-known food writer having co-written and published cookbooks with many of Sydney’s best chefs and ran Australia’s largest recreational cooking school, Sydney Seafood School at Sydney Fish Market for 23 years. Hear about Roberta's upcoming Italian & Swiss Food & Wine tours.
