Orlando -- A three-day Taste of Piemonte event will infuse Orlando with the flavors of Italy at Ravello, an Italian restaurant in the local Four Seasons hotel. Created by Italy-born Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi, the multipart event will include an olive oil and wine seminar followed by a buffet, a five-course dinner with the same theme, plus a dessert party, a coffee class and a marketplace.
