Our first night in Tirano, we went out for a wine-pairing at a business in town. It's a wine shop that is a small farmers cooperative of sorts. Tirano is in the Valtellina wine region of Italy. Small farmers here make wine, mead, honey, jams, etc. This shop helps them with sales, marketing, and labelling.

We tasted four wines which were each paired with a variety of tasty treats, including fresh flowers, bread, meats, cheeses, fruits, and jams. The guy who explained everything to us was quite good. The whole event was slow, well-explained, and fun and relaxing. Oh, and the food and wine were very good too, and I ate all the fresh flowers.
