Limoncello Making Class

Ciao Asheville wraps up our 2022 line of events just in time for the holidays. Join us on Sunday, December 11 at 2pm to learn how to make the popular Italian Liqueur, Limoncello. Howard Rampersaud, Food and Wine Traveler in Italy, will present the process pursuant to an authentic Italian recipe garnered from his travels.

Howard will demonstrate the process from start to finish, including bottling this magic elixir and give us shopping and packaging advice, too. Typically made from grain alcohol, Howard will also discuss how to make limoncello from vodka, which has a lower alcohol content. And you’ll get to sample both versions to see which one you like best! You’ll also get to take home a copy of Howard’s recipe.

5 Star Review!

Another 5 Star Review for Kristen, Wedding Coordinator @MetroWines:
 
Kristen and Metro Wines were absolutely wonderful assisting us in selecting wines and beer for our rehearsal dinner and wedding in May 2022. We are Asheville natives and have been patrons of Metro for many years - they are simply the best! Kristen was lovely to work with! She has extensive experience in the wedding industry and was able to make several recommendations to us beyond wine. She provided us with wines to taste which paired with our rehearsal and reception menus and we had a lot of fun sampling the wines! Metro delivered the wines/beers for both events and the logistics were seamless. I highly recommend using Kristen and Metro Wines for your wedding/events. It was easy, tasty and they made the wine selection totally effortless which is what everyone needs when planning a wedding. Thank you, Kristen and Metro!
