On Monday, October 20, Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar is offering a unique opportunity to sample La Bella Vita when the new Vancouver hotspot plays host to an exclusive winery dinner featuring Italian winemaker Ruffino.

Boulevard Wine Director Lisa Haley will welcome Ruffino Senior Global Brand Ambassador Beppe d’Andrea for the event, which pairs nine wines from Ruffino’s estates in Tuscany with five courses from Executive Chef Alex Chen’s upcoming fall menu.

“Ruffino is an icon of the Tuscan region, and we’re excited to host Beppe and to share these wines with our guests while showcasing a different side of Alex’s cuisine,” said Haley. A dynamic storyteller, d’Andrea has a long and rich history with Ruffino, having first worked in the vineyards in 1987 before becoming Cellar Master and then Brand Ambassador in 1995.
