I’ve had the pleasure of working with Val DI Terra Events (now BEN VINO Events) at two different properties supporting the events. The Farms couldn’t have been more different in terms of branding and reaching a diverse audience, offering a wide selection of wines from many wine regions, pleased to say, very well organized events, paying attention to detail, Val Di Terra is an amazing asset and partner for future wine festivals.
