Private Italian Wine & Food Events

Looking for creative ways to host small gatherings at home? How about a Private Wine Pairing Dinner with Sommelier Michelle Gueydan and Sfoglino David Paternostro. A Sfoglino is Italian for someone who crafts handmade pasta. Using simple, high quality ingredients, David employs century old techniques rarely found outside of Italy. Growing up in New Orleans with Italian-Sicilian ancestry on both sides of his family, David’s culinary endeavor (called Pasta Nostro) is continuing the tradition of connecting people through food.  He has partnered up with Sommelier Michelle Gueydan and her company VinoSolutions to provide fun and educational wine dinners in the convenience of your home.  David preps his ingredients ahead of time and executes a 3-course dinner from your kitchen, featuring his homemade ricotta, pastas and sauces.  Michelle selects 6 artisanal and boutique wines from Swirl to pair, which can be catered to the host/hostess’ preferences.  This duo will certainly make your evening memorable, replete with David’s pasta rolling demonstrations and Michelle’s informational stories on wines/winemakers that are “off the beaten path.”  Packages start at $110 per person (which also includes a welcome cocktail and a 4th dessert course featuring fresh, locally made ice cream).  Bookings require a minimum of 15 people and 25 maximum.  To plan your private dinner gathering, contact Michelle directly: 571-228-4832 or michelle@vinosolutions.com
