The perfect combination of luxurious Italian wines, personally selected and introduced by Steven Roberto in association with EnVision Phuket are matched with the culinary creations from Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket’s Executive Chef, Alessandro Frau. This journey through Italy promises to be a sensational evening.

“No other country in the world offers more diversity and excitement in wine today than Italy. Italian wines of today show a good deal of modern sensibility while remaining true to their past and place of origin. These are the wines that connect us to our past and show us the way forward towards the future” quotes Steven Roberto, Managing Director, EnVision Phuket Co. Ltd.

“Italian wines always show their best with food” adds Steven “therefore we are delighted to be able to showcase some of our best wines alongside Chef Alessandro’s exquisite cuisine in Phuket’s finest Italian Restaurant, Puccini.”
