The Venetian and The Palazzo
kicked off the second annual Festivino, a celebration of Bordeaux throughout the month of October, with a wine tasting
event tonight in The Palazzo waterfall atrium and gardens. More than 200 guests
sipped on wines from acclaimed wineries such as Château Giscours and Reserve de
Barons de Rothschild while enjoying small bites from restaurants including
Zine, Aquaknox, Bouchon, First Food & Bar, Carnevino and Venetian Executive
Chef Olivier Dubreuil.
Master sommeliers were on
hand to provide insights into the wine and what makes Bordeaux wine in a class of its own. Surrounded by the unique
Harvest Crush autumn display featuring more than 10,000 grape clusters, 30 wine
casks and 1,000 pounds of wine corks donated from the resorts’ restaurants,
guests enjoyed the sounds of a violin trio and grape stomping performers.
Festivino will continue
through October featuring prix fixe menus with Bordeaux pairings at Morels French Steakhouse & Bistro and
Pinot Brasserie, two-for-one Bordeaux by the glass at select restaurants and bars at the
resorts and flights of quality Bordeaux wines at casino bars and lounges. Additionally, The
Venetian and The Palazzo are offering a Bordeaux suite package including complimentary bottles of
wine. For more information on Festivino, please visit
