A BEAUTIFULLunch!

Beautiful people, showstopping food, Italian wines and a stunning setting - it was indeed a beautiful lunch at the award-winning Bella Venezia for the Hello Sunshine Wine Lunch with Specogna Wines. Deb Caruso savoured every moment.

Bella Venezia proved why they are multiple award-winners and one of the most iconic Sunshine Coast restaurants. The decadent three-course lunch with matching wines delivered 10/10 for food, service, ambienceand the wines? Perfecto! Bellissimo!

Insightful and engaging commentary and insights on the menu and the matching wines from Specogna Vini, based in Friuli, north-east Italy saw the event live up to its promise to be the best Italian lunch this side of Venezia. Bravo!
