Coming up September 14-20, 2009 is La Vendemmia, a week’s worth of wine and food programming all taking place in Ottawa’s Little Italy in celebration of the harvest. With more than 15 events to choose from, plus special feature menus and plenty more going on, there’s no reason to not spend your September on Preston Street. Our Corso Italia is home to one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in the region, bursting with top-end restaurants, cozy pubs, cool lounges, traditional trattorias, and family-owned and operated businesses. Yes, the street is under construction, but there’s plenty of parking and everyone’s still open for business, eager to celebrate La Vendemmia with you! Check out the exciting line-up of events and book your tickets now at www.prestonstreet.com/lavendemmia – there really is something for everyone this year! Plus to make your visit to Corso Italia even easier, we’re offering an Insider’s Guide to Preston Street, featuring tips on the best places to go, recipes from some of our favourite restaurants on the street, and highlights of the La Vendemmia festival. Click here to download yours today! And don’t forget to sign up your team for the Charity Grape Stomp Relay in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.
