MINUETTO OF LOVE

A special evening to celebrate past, present and future lovers.

 

Love thrives on atmospheres, as music, dancing together, good food, and a smile behind a glass.
A fun and elegant evening of dancing in the magnificent Ridotto salon to celebrate Valentine's Day which has just passed, in the carnival atmosphere.

 

Held in a real historic building, the party offers the possibility of taking A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME listening to baroque music, the sweetest lyrical arias, and learning the basic steps of historical GROUP DANCES, under the guide of the dance teachers.

 

The event includes a welcome aperitif and a four-course SEATED DINNER paired with regional wines. The vegetarian or meat menu options can be selected at the time of booking.

 

It is compulsory to wear a PERIOD COSTUME, which can be rented at the ATELIER TIEPOLO.
