From Eastern Florence to the Western U.S.

Wine&Fashion Florence goes to Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado from January 31 to February 2, 2008, taking with it the best of Levante Fiorentino. This unique area near Florence boasts superb local wines, impeccable fashion and design, charming artistic handicrafts and an exceptional tradition of hospitality amidst one of the world’s most exquisite landscapes.

The Florentine will send one thousand copies of its January 24^th special 32-page issue as supplement to the three-day event.

Events include presentations by the area’s finest chefs in collaboration with culinary cult classic, Bon Appettit magazine. After whetting their appetite, guests will get a taste of ‘Made in Italy’ with fashion events by Ermanno Scervino, Braccialini and Consorzio 100% Italiano.

Art, creativity and Florentine genius are at the core of the arts and artisans exhibition, which showcases the modernity of ancient techniques. Enjoy frescoes by Antonio De Vito, Tacconi’s Florentine mosaics and Laboratorio Bianco Bianchi’s scagliola works.

This exciting initiative is promoted by the municipalities of Valdarno, Valdisieve, Bagno a Ripoli and the Montagna Fiorentina Community, and enjoys support from the Province of Florence, APT Florence, and the Tuscan Region. The event was organized by the Consorzio Terre del Levante Fiorentino in collaboration with Openup Consulting.
