Contact Janet for more information. Signorello Estate’s “Enoteca Tasting” Lauded as “One of Napa’s Best Dining Experiences” in Huffington Post  Concluding “there's no other food wine pairing in Napa Valley that comes close to what Signorello does,” The Huffington Post recently published an extensive review of Signorello Estate’s unique, four-course “Enoteca Tasting”. Entitled One of Napa's Best Dining Experiences Isn't At a Restaurant -- It's at a Winery, the article’s author, frequent contributor Mary Orlin, noted the Enoteca Tasting was “one of the best four course meals I've had in Napa, and the best that I've had at any winery.”The Huffington Post article can be found at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mary-orlin/one-of-napas-best-dining-_b_2725506.html Signorello Estate’s “Enoteca Tasting” is an ongoing offering that delivers and extensive and in-depth, four-course wine and food tasting to visitors prepared by Signorello Estate’s Executive Chef Britny Sundin. The Enoteca Tasting is offered by appointment and scheduled for the middle of the day. Orlin explains in her Huffington Post piece that “Enoteca Signorello is the brain child of proprietor Ray Signorello, Jr. He believes in the marriage of food and wine, and that wine is best understood when paired with food at the table. Ray's hope is to inspire wine lovers in an experience where they can really get, or taste how the wine can make the food taste better and how the food can enhance the wine” and goes on to note that the Enoteca Tasting is something “no foodie or wine lover should miss.” Azamara Club Cruises Inagurates Azamazing Evenings

The vast majority of the Council’s energy and time is spent in private collaboration with and between its members. The Council acts as facilitator, broker, mediator, advocate and door opener for members who need introductions to partners for programs, promotions and shared marketing initiatives.

The following are recent collaborations with which the Council has been involved: Construction Company Designer Delivers Seminar Series: The Luxury Marketing Council provided an introduction and recommendation for construction company representative to host an industry training seminar for 70+ interior designers.
