Taste The Terroir of Local Honey with C. Marina Marchese
June 6, 2024 - 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Join us for a special evening…a guided tasting of 5 single-origin honeys produced in our region, with C. Marina Marchese; Weston author, beekeeper, honey sommelier and founder of Red Bee. Marina will introduce our palates to the fresh taste of honey from the hive. Each honey will be perfectly paired on a tasting plate with cheeses, nuts, chocolate and fruits. An herbal infused water will be provided to cleanse our palates. This event is a BYO wine/beer and the recommended pairings include Prosecco, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Rose’, Pilsner, Pale Ale, Witbier, Saison. Marina will also lead us in a compelling conversation about honey bees, how and why they make honey, and their essential pollination services which are responsible for one-third of the food we eat. She will help us understand how we can help honey bees so future generations can enjoy honey and fresh grown food. Bring your honey bee and honey related questions!
