From the famed fashion house of Ferragamo to the precious terroir of the Valdarno Hills of Tuscany, the name synonymous with luxury and quality brings you style with substance, presenting an exquisite collection of immaculate wines paired with cuisine at the forefront of culinary creativity.

Building upon the rich reputation of quality craftsmanship and careful attention to the finest of details — like his namesake grandfather — Salvatore Ferragamo brings this strong sensibility to the artisan art of wine-making, producing wines replete with beautiful body, structure, and finesse.

The Il Borro brand, built upon the vineyards at the foot of the Pratomagno Mountains in the heart of Tuscany, bear fruits of the vine that are unmistakably unique.

Now, with the addition of the prestigious Pinino Estate of Montalcino, the exquisite character of Brunello is also added to the rich diversity of wines.

Join us for a truly exclusive opportunity to enjoy the engaging charm and Italian flair of Mr. Ferragamo himself, as he visits us from Italy to personally present a curated selection of some of the region’s finest wines.

In keeping with these powerful roots of creativity, tradition, and distinctive quality, Wine Legend has partnered with Pleasantdale Chateau, to offer this exquisite event.

A limited number of bottles of Il Borro & Pinino Estate wines plus specially-packaged items will also be available for optional purchase on the evening.

This historic estate is a hidden gem of northern New Jersey that rivals the opulent mansions of the gold coast. Located upon a secluded, private 40-acre sprawling estate, it is complete with woodlands, ponds, charming bridges, meadows, meandering paths, and its own farm. Built at the turn of the century by a renowned American industrialist, this grand chateau was constructed in the true French-Normand style. Sparing no expense, master craftsmen of the era employed the finest of materials imported from throughout the world to create a one-its-kind masterpiece of ambitious architecture and luxurious style. Countless entertainers and notables of high-society of its day have walked its hallowed halls. Well over a century later, it is lovingly preserved and privately-owned by a three-generation family whose life’s work has been to create unique environments within the restaurant and hospitality sphere.
