From the sun-washed shores of Corsica and Sardinia to Sicily, Greece, Mallorca, and Croatia, this curated tasting follows a coastline shaped by sea breezes, ancient vines, and enduring traditions.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    As each wine is poured, multidisciplinary artist and storyteller Dani Papa will exhibit his work and create a live painting throughout the evening. His distinctive Urban Tribal style brings together portraiture, mixed media, intuitive mark-making, and automatic drawing — transforming the evening into a spontaneous visual conversation between place, time, movement, and memory.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Born from a practice informed by Greek heritage and mythology, Dani Papa’s work explores the ideas that define the Mediterranean: identity, landscape, history, and the beauty of human connection. Between each tasting, our kitchen will offer a selection of house-made hors d’oeuvres, thoughtfully prepared to complement the wines and elevate the experience.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin: 38px 0; padding: 26px 28px; background: #f7f4ee; border-top: 2px solid #b8945c;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500; color: #1f3b4d;\"\u003e\n      Evening Details\n    \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wednesday, August 19th\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $70 per person, all inclusive\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited to 50 guests\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bleu Provence, 1234 8th Street South, Naples, FL 34102\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin: 38px 0 18px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; color: #1f3b4d;\"\u003e\n    Wines to Be Tasted\n  \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"padding: 22px 26px; border: 1px solid #ddd6c8; background: #fffdfa;\"\u003e\n    \u003col style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 22px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eDomaine Yves Leccia “L’Altru Biancu” Patrimonio Île de Beauté Bianco Gentile 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eGrottafumata Lato Sud White Carricante 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eAnatolikos Vineyards Fine Assyrtiko, Avdira 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eAnima Negra Quíbia Falanis 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eIs Argiolas Vermentino di Sardegna 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eKorta Katarina Plavac Mali, Pelješac Peninsula Rosé, Croatia 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eCOS Pithos Rosso di Vittoria 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eAnima Negra ÀN\/2 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eSurrau Naracu Cannonau di Sardegna 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eDomaine Giudicelli Patrimonio Rouge 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ol\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin: 42px 0 18px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; color: #1f3b4d;\"\u003e\n    About Dani Papa\n  \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Dani Papa is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller whose signature Urban Tribal style merges portraiture, mixed media, intuitive mark-making, and automatic drawing.
