This month, Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach debuts “Sips of Summer,” a new monthly wine series curated by the Resort’s wine and water sommelier Jessica Altieri. On one Thursday each month between May and October 2019, Altieri will host a themed micro wine tasting experience highlighting alluring new wines from some of the world’s top winemakers with an interactive pairing component including family-style bites from Florie’s, the Resort’s signature dining destination. The dynamic tastings are designed to be an approachable and entertaining guide to pairing wine with food and will share rich stories about the notable producers and vineyards poured.
Sips of Summer events are open to the public (USD 75 per person) and hosted in Florie’s Private Dining Room from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on each of the following dates. To RSVP, book online:
