A Food Lover’s Midsummer Day Dream
A beautiful summer day is planned as we head to several Greensburg area highlights.
We’ll depart Bloomfield about 9:30 AM and head out on our Myer’s Coach to our first great stop!
DeLallo’s Italian Marketplace where Anthony DiPietro, a member of the DeLallo family will conduct an informative tour of this absolutely gorgeous store. You’ll be so impressed with the beautiful presentations at the antipasto bar and cooking inspired with all the great DeLallo products and other imported delicacies dripping off the shelves. Treat yourself to some great goodies as we take a break for lunch outdoors in the cute area in front of the store. You may bring a cooler to store under the bus with purchases to take home.
Stop number two!! We discovered Sand Hill Berry Farm last year at our local farmers’ market. Their luscious fruit preserves are one of the ingredients which have made our Ricotta and Jam Tart so popular. We’ll stroll through the berry farm and store with Bob or Amy (owners of this lovely setting) and then we’ll treat you to a fabulous dessert at the outdoor café. We’ve enjoyed some of their tasty treats — you won’t want to miss out! We’ll also include some wine tasting at Green Dance Winery, a beautiful part of the farm as well. You’ll be able to purchase your favorite bottle and take it home as a delicious reminder of this great day!
We’re getting there! The Lenox Factory and Outlet Store are only five miles away from Sand Hill. It would be such a shame to be soooo close and not stop in. No tour, no info just great bargains on china, tableware and crystal. The bus has a great big storage area!
Before we head for home our final stop will be at Mauro’s Ristorante in Jeannette. Mauro is from the same town in Italy as my husband Mario! We’ve been dear friends for many years . He’ll prepare a great Italian feast for us and show us some beautifully warm Italian hospitality! We’ll pick up the tab for dinner. Indulge yourself in a drink from the bar — we have a designated driver!
That will wrap up what plans to be a glorious day! We’ll wind down and head for home so we can get ready for WORK on Tuesday!
