FROM THE AUTUMN MENU
Fall equinox brings the most colorful array of cuisine in Vence: Among the highlights is vino novello, a young wine offering a fruity taste perfect for autumnal gatherings. Complementing this is the tangy flavor of sumach, adding a zesty touch to vegetarian, eggs, and rice dishes.
Indulge in nonna's mulberry cake, moist and rich, capturing the essence of harvest time. Elderberry jam provides a luscious spread that pairs wonderfully with Asiago cheese or freshly baked walnut bread from the Dolomite mountains. These delicacies, mostly sourced from the Lagoon islands, celebrate this transitional time of year in our Venetian kitchen.
