Italian Wine Tasting
August 11, 7:30 - 10:00 pm
You've tasted wines of the Spanish-speaking world
with us, as well as the wines of France. Now it's time to join us
in our upcoming Taste of Italian Wine! We'll be partnering with
our Logan Square Neighbor, Provenance Food & Wine, to bring
you an exciting, educational and tasty evening. Cost: $25 (includes
wine, cheese and light snacks...and great company!)
Logan Square Latino Culinary
Tour
Saturday, September 25th from 11am-3/4pm
In the Logan Square/Avondale area, you can’t
throw your pocket Spanish dictionary and not hit a taquería
that serves up tasty burritos and tacos. But what if you’re
in the mood for something a little different - and you don’t
know where to start? If you don’t know a pupusa
from an arepa and couldn’t pick out a yuca
in a root vegetable lineup, join us for our first ever Logan Square
Latino Culinary Tour! You’ll start at our school and open
your mind to the Spanish language through an hour of pronunciation
practice, greetings, politeness and other key basics. Then you’ll
hop in a bus and travel to Ecuador, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Colombia,
Panama and Cuba, where you’ll open your mouths to tasty treats
typical of five Latin American countries. Qué rico, ¿no?
Cost is $45 for the experience, which includes all
food/drinks/tips and transportation from our language studio to
restaurants.
Restaurants include:
