━ ◦ I Vinarelli at Cirelli & Co. ◦ ━
Dive into a day where Italian culture, art, coffee and food were blended today at Cirelli & Co. We recently embraced the joy of "I Vinarelli" – an event that infused the traditional water painting with a four-course culinary journey.
A sunny morning filled with painting and laughter set the scene for a laid-back, fun-filled session with our community. Post-art, everyone enjoyed a hearty four-course lunch that was all about big Italian flavours. There's nothing quite like good food and art to bring people together.
Keep an eye out for more events like this!
