Step into the heart of an Italian Christmas at Grovestone!
This festive evening celebrates La Vigilia di Natale,
the cherished Italian tradition of gathering around the table
with friends, family, and incredible food.
Enjoy a cozy, immersive cooking and wine experience where the warmth of olive oil, the aroma of herbs, and the joy of the season come together in perfect harmony. Our chefs will guide you through an unforgettable evening of culinary artistry and holiday cheer, complete with delicious tastings and thoughtfully paired wines.
Raise your glass, share the laughter, and say “Mangia Mangia!”
because the best way to celebrate Christmas is the Italian way:
with great food, great wine, and even greater company.
Perfect for date night or a cozy evening with friends,
