THE SWEET LIFE: Jacques Simian, Linda Newton, Laticia Box Corsini, Georgia Hamidon, Amber Newton, Kaye Stewart and Matthew Rieter invite you to celebrate the La Dole Vita festival this weekend.
Feasting, sipping and day dancing in the King Valley A WEEKEND of feasting, dancing and fun for the whole family awaits you in King Valley this Friday, November 15 to Sunday, November 17. La Dolce Vita celebrates the ‘good life’ and this year there are nine participating wineries. Starting on Friday evening and finishing later Sunday, this year’s event has something for both the experienced wine taster and those just wanting to enjoy a preChristmas catch-up with friends and family.
