Pink, Perfected
Twenty Years Of Rosé Redefined
An icon deserves an icon, and few settings rival the drama of the Versace Mansion after dark. Within the storied walls of Villa Casa Casuarina, an evening of old-world glamour unfolds as Whispering Angel marks its 20th vintage, celebrating two decades that reshaped how the world drinks pink. Candlelight flickers across mosaic tiles, the courtyard hums with quiet decadence, and every detail feels deliberately cinematic. What began in Provence evolved into a global emblem of effortless luxury, elevating rosé from a fleeting summer pour to an all-season statement. Crisp, elegant, and stylish, the wine helped define a category, and then ruled it! Now, in a place once synonymous with Gianni Versace and cultural royalty, glasses lift to craftsmanship, confidence, and a whisper that became a worldwide obsession. Twenty years in, the moment feels as fresh and as glamorous as ever; Feb. 18 from 7 p.m.-11 p.m.; SOBEWFF.org.

Conversations linger over crisp sips and artisanal bites, where the food program is as thoughtful as the art itself. This is not a rushed fair; it’s designed for strolling and discovery. Music drifts between tents, live demonstrations invite curiosity, and unexpected moments appear around every turn…a reminder that great art thrives on surprise; CGAF.com.
