This evening, during the wine pairing and pouring event from 5-8 p.m., Arny will be crafting a traditional Tuscan-style Panzanella Salad. This quintessential Italian salad, made with bread and tomatoes, is both fresh and seasonal while being substantial enough to serve as a lunch or a light dinner. In the United States, awareness of panzanella did not emerge until the late 1970s. Since then, it has evolved into a summer staple for anyone who has access to high-quality tomatoe

As summer approaches, it is common to hear individuals express their intention to achieve their "bikini body" through exercise, dieting, and similar efforts. At Acqua In Vino, however, we embrace a distinctly different interpretation of a bikini body. Our philosophy is simple: we aim to indulge in as many bikini sandwiches as possible before the summer concludes. If you are familiar with Spanish culture or have spent time in Spain, you will understand our perspective. The see

At this week's pairing from 5-8 p.m. tonight, Arny is set to prepare a somewhat unconventional Italian dish known as Spaghetti Alla Carrettiera, which consists of jarred or canned tomatoes, canned tuna in olive oil, and mushrooms. This recipe originated from the carrettieri, the cart drivers of Italy who, over a century ago, traveled from town to town and city to city, selling various goods that locals might require. To sustain themselves and others during their journeys, the

This evening at our weekly wine pairing and pouring event, Arny will be reintroducing his well-loved and delectable Raw Pasta Sauce.

Crafted from the freshest ingredients, the taste of this sauce is so remarkable that you will hardly believe it is raw. Additionally, we have expanded our product range in-store following our ven

It’s the first Friday in June! Tonight is bourbon pairing and pouring from 5-8 p.m. Many couples choose June or July as their wedding month. In the American South, there is a popular wedding superstition that burying an unopened bottle of bourbon upside down at the ceremony site exactly one month before the wedding will ensure good weather and keep the rain away. On the wedding day, the couple digs it up to share with their wedding party! So, if you have a wedding to attend t

Join us tonight as we introduce a new “mixer” just brought into the store. Aloevine is a popular line of ready-to-drink aloe vera beverages crafted with fresh aloe vera gel pulp and natural fruit flavors. Designed as a hydrating and refreshing alternative to traditional sodas and artificial fruit juices, the drinks are packed with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Did you know that ancient Greeks believed that aloe vera could cure baldness and insomnia? We will be mixing t

As we approach Memorial Day, it’s good to remember what the holiday is truly about. Yes, we should celebrate life, enjoy barbeques, get out on the lake, go shopping with family and friends, etc. But as Americans we get to enjoy these fun days only because of those who have sacrificed for our right to do it. If you need a fun activity this weekend with family or friends, join us tonight from 5-8 p.m. for our weekly wine pairing and pouring. We'll serve three wines with food pa

Join us this evening from 5 to 8 p.m. for our weekly wine pairing and pouring event. Arny will be crafting Pasta Primavera, a robust pasta dish filled with vegetables that is ideal for any season!

This weekend we celebrate Mother’s Day, created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 to honor her own mother. She organized the first Mother's Day service of worship and celebration at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, her home state. This location serves as the International Mother's Day Shrine today. In 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as an official U.S. national holiday to honor mothers an

Happy May 1st! It’s also the 1st Friday of the month where you have the option to pair bourbons instead of wine at our weekly wine pairing and pouring. May Day and bourbon frequently intersect, largely because the first weekend of May marks the Kentucky Derby, the most famous horse race in the world. Bourbon is the official and traditional spirit of the event, most notably featured in the Mint Julep, a refreshing springtime cocktail made with bourbon, muddled fresh mint, suga

If you have visited the store this week, you likely noticed that Acqua In Vino has commenced the construction of Piazza di Vino, our wine square. We are transforming the adjacent parking lot into a gathering area designed for enjoying the outdoors in a vibrant, new setting, fostering a fresh social and community atmosphere. This initiative will provide our city with a spacious outdoor area as an alternative to conventional indoor seating, promoting Wayland’s social district t

Scientists have discovered that rain can make us happy and improve our mental health. When rain splashes on the ground, some of the molecules that make up the air pick up an electron and become negatively charged ions. When we inhale them, it is thought they can help to relieve stress and even boost our energy levels. Nobody really knows exactly why that happens. But there are clear indications that people feel more positive after inhaling negative ions. So come in after your
