Castello Banfi Wine Dinner at the Beach House

Exciting News! The Beach House Waterfront Restaurant will host wine industry legend Sharron McCarthy for an extraordinary dinner. Director Emeritus and Past President of the Society of Wine Educators and former VP Wine Education at Banfi Vintners, Sharron will be presenting and we will all indulge in some of Castello Banfi’s legendary vintages.
