The 3rd annual Journey of Flavours gourmet extravaganza took place Sunday, August 6, 2017
The co-proprietors of Two Sisters Vineyards, Angela Marotta and Melissa Paolicelli-Marotta hosted a sold-out a festive summertime Niagara Wine Country celebration with over 300 guests and patrons.
Journey of Flavours is a premium al fresco afternoon overflowing with exceptional food, estate wine and live music. It’s an annual happy, stylish and colourful winery event that celebrates all that the Two Sisters adore – the best of life’s pleasures.
The event was centred on the winery’s popular covered terrace overlooking the vineyards. Envisioned as a journey through the spectacular sounds, senses, tastes and spirit of community gatherings, all inspired by the Two sisters’ Italian heritage. The afternoon consisted of distinctive estate wines crafted by Winemaker Adam Pearce, paired with six food stations as well as passed hors d’oeuvres, prepared by the Kitchen76 team under Executive Chef Justin Lesso.

I was there also and thought it was a terrific event. Mother Nature had to grandstand her tears as usual this summer but what can you do….
Thank you Elaine. Pleased that you two attended. We very much enjoyed all our guests. Summer outdoor events in Wine Country always have a risk, and Mother Nature did briefly remind us, but the rain quickly passed, the sun came back out and our celebration continued without missing a beat.
