On May 19th 2024, escape the city and spend the day with amazing food, wonderful wine and good company!

The 'A Taste of Spring' experience is a joint project between Food Nomads, Villa Velis Winery and vegetable garden Season, united by the love of good wine, quality food and special experiences.

We offer you a day at the Villa Velis wine cellar, where you will get to know the way of wine and immerse yourself in its magic.

​After a walk through the vineyards and winery, there will follow a special lunch prepared entirely with seasonal products from the regenerative garden of Sezon, combined in perfect harmony with the wines of Villa Velis.

A 4-course menu of wine and food awaits you, selected to evoke and highlight aromas and flavors. Sezon's chef has prepared an ambitious menu inspired by the vegetables that naturally flourish in spring and which can best highlight the complexity of the wines you will taste. A feast for all the senses!
