This past month, the Varenna Holidays Boutique turned into a colorful stage for personal style and local flavors: the free-entry event Armocromia & Local Gin Tasting welcomed curious visitors and guests on a sunny afternoon in Varenna.
Held inside our charming Boutique, just a halfway from the lakefront and the historic center, the event included a free introduction to the art of seasonal color analysis, or armocromia. An expert guided participants through discovering their “season”, helping them identify which hues naturally enhance their skin tone and features.
The analysis was conducted using the “Vert Lago” silk scarves by French-Italian artist Aude Calemard. Each scarf, crafted in fine silk and cashmere, is inspired by a different Lake Como village. Their soft natural colors and elegant textures proved perfect for testing tones and finding the ideal palette for everyone.
Meanwhile, participants were treated to a local gin tasting: our selection of spirits showcased the flavors of the territory and added a refreshing, sensory dimension to the experience.
The event drew the attention of many tourists passing through, intrigued by the lively atmosphere. We’re enthusiasts, it was a success!
Stay tuned for more events. We regularly host small happenings at our Boutique that celebrate Lake Como’s products in surprising ways. Follow us to find out what’s next, and drop by during your stay, something special might be happening right when you’re in town!
