Reserve your spot for Italy in a Glass: An Evening with Susan Gravely & VIETRI on Fri, Oct 10, 5:3pm-7pm. Join Fearrington House Restaurant for a special cocktail reception as they celebrate the newest book from Susan Gravely and VIETRI — Italy in a Glass. Inspired by Susan’s travels and friendships in Italy, this beautiful book captures the Italian ritual of aperitivo—the late-afternoon pause to savor life with a sip and a snack. Through stunning photography, heartfelt stories, and recipes for cocktails, mocktails, and small bites, Italy in a Glass invites you to bring that Italian spirit home. Italy in a Glass celebrates the Italian art of elevating the everyday. From hand-selecting fresh ingredients at the market to serving cocktails in heirloom glassware and setting a table aglow with candlelight, author Susan Gravely shares how the small, thoughtful details she discovered in Italy transform simple moments into beautiful celebrations. This book is an invitation to slow down, savor, and bring a bit of Italian magic into your own home.

The evening will feature:

• Apertivi tastings and snacks from each chapter of the book.
• A short talk by Susan Gravely on her inspiration and Italian adventures.
• Personalized signed copies of Italy in a Glass.

Your $150 ticket includes admission to the event, delicious samples, Vietri cocktail napkins, and a signed copy of the book to take home. Celebrate the art of gathering, Italian style—because even an ordinary day can feel extraordinary with the right drink, bite, and company.
