The event will combine haute cuisine with the region's finest wines in an exclusive experience on August 3 at the winery in São Joaquim.
A very special event, filled with aromas and flavors, will take place amid one of the most beautiful and enchanting landscapes of the Santa Catarina mountains this winter. It is the Harmonized Dinner, promoted by Osli Restaurant together with Villa Francioni and sommelier Nea Silveira. The event will be held on Saturday, August 3, at 7 pm, at this winery, which is a must-visit in São Joaquim for lovers of good wine and sparkling wine.
This will be the first time that Osli's cuisine will leave the capital for the mountains. And, according to chef Felipe Silva, the move will be for a noble reason. “We are already looking forward to this unprecedented experience, as we are sure that we will all be delighted, not only by the delicacies that can be tasted, but also by the incredible views and unique atmosphere that only the mountains of Santa Catarina can offer,” says the chef.
To pair with the restaurant's finest wines—Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé, Cabernet Franc, Michelli, and white fortified wine, as well as VF Rosé Brut sparkling wine—chef Felipe Silva has used all his skill and creativity to create a seven-course menu featuring meat, poultry, seafood, and regional delicacies typical of the season. The full menu can be viewed prior to the event on Instagram @oslirestaurante.
Sharing command of the evening and the Villa Francioni dining room alongside the chef from Osli will be the winery's oenologist, Nei Rasera, and sommelier Nea Silveira, who will bring all their knowledge of the art of winemaking to the guests.
About Osli Restaurant
Tasty, healthy, and surprising. These are the three pillars that sustain Osli Restaurant, opened in 2021, on the ground floor of the LK Design Hotel (Rua Bocaiúva, 1755), in downtown Florianópolis, with the goal of becoming one of the main gastronomic spaces in the capital of Santa Catarina. Under the command of chef Felipe Silva, the place combines the classic, the unusual, and the original with a touch of familiarity from revamped and flavored recipes that use seasonal and regional ingredients, such as smoked trout, yogurts, and sheep cheeses produced artisanally in the Santa Catarina Mountains, and cured cheeses from the Serra da Canastra and southern Minas Gerais.
About Villa Francioni
Founded in 2001 by Mr. Manoel Dilor Freitas, Villa Francioni was the pioneering winery in the Santa Catarina mountains. Located on SC-114, in São Joaquim, the place is the result of a passion for the art of winemaking and the search for the definitive Brazilian terroir, following the founder's research trips to the best wine-producing regions around the world. It was he who established a personal concept that later became the mission of the house: “To enrich the celebration of life with the taste of an elegant wine made with love and art.” The winery, which is open to the public and also serves as a venue for events, has gained national and international recognition for the noble labels of the Villa Francioni and Joaquim lines.
