Amizetta Winery

Amizetta Winery brought us in for a member appreciation event after an extensive build of their new tasting room and patio.  They wanted to do something nice for 30+ of their members who have not been able to enjoy a winery visit in a few years.  They wanted their members to enjoy their incredibly good wine, have some tapas, and the experience of seeing the paella cooking, and having some great paella!  A person at the winery had worked at another winery where they had a paella experience.  Based on the success at the other winery, Amizetta hired Paella Experience for their member appreciation event.

​

We worked with the Amizetta team on a menu.  Start off with pan con tomate (baguette slices with tomato) and con Jamon (with ham).  Serve a vegan paella and a seafood paella accompanied by a fresh, seasonal salad.  After the late lunch, we would serve tarta de Santiago topped with powdered sugar in the the shape of their logo.

The members arrived at 3:00.  We had been there since 2:00 doing the set up.  At 3:00, members arrived and they were greeted with glasses of wine and the pan con tomate y jamon.  Members enjoyed watching the paella cook and engaged in lots of conversation.  Spencer Clark, the proprietor, sang and played his guitar for the enjoyment of all.  He was really good!

​

At 4:15 the paellas were ready to serve.  Members got their plates, served themselves salad and sherry vinaigrette before coming to the pans and asking for a serving of one or both paellas and the special requests - more mushrooms, no clams, more scallops... 

​

After everyone had eaten, and some had seconds, the general manager took a cake to the table and shared the story of the logo and how it was designed by Spencer Clark  You will see the logo is an A and a V, but the secret shared, was that it also formed Spencer's initials - SC.  After the show, cake was served.

​

We received rave reviews on the paella and food.  While folks were eating dessert, we packed up and left Amizetta around 5:30.

​

A GREAT day!
