But if you don’t have a passport handy, try the next best thing – venture to A Little Bit of Italy in Broke.
The annual program of food, wine, festivities and fun attracted locals and visitors alike to Ascella Organic Wine, Riverflats Estate, Krinklewood Vineyard, Somerville Wines, Margan Wines, Stomp! Wines, Nightingale Wines, Whispering Brook, Broke’s Promise Estate, Glenguin Estate and Catherine Vale Wines on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The 11th edition of A Little Bit of Italy in Broke featured not only events and rare experiences throughout the Broke Fordwich region, but also cooking schools, master classes and demonstrations for all.
Music filtered through the various vineyards, too.
Connoisseurs tempted their tastebuds by sampling everything from wood-fired pizzas to porchettas, antipastis to Italian cheeses, and gelatos to an espresso or two.
For the kids, there was even a game of bocce.
Another highlight was the Italian Village Dinner at Catherine Vale Wines on Saturday night.
The local winemaking community hosted the feast, giving people a chance to mingle with the growers and chef Andy Wright, of The Cellar Restaurant.
