is here Bonterra! This annual celebration brings together some of the best restaurants and bars in the world to craft creative takes on the classic Negroni cocktail, all while supporting charitable causes. Originating in Italy, the Negroni has become a global favorite, known for its perfect balance of gin, vermouth, and Campari. This week, Bonterra joins the festivities with unique, regionally-inspired Negronis that offer a modern twist on tradition.
At Bonterra, weâre featuring three signature Negronis:
đ Amalfi Negroni: A bright and zesty variation featuring Malfy Lemon Gin, Carpano Antica Vermouth, and Campari, garnished with a lemon wheel for a refreshing finish.
đ Sardinia Negroni: A tropical-inspired mix with Last Best Fortunella Gin, pineapple, Orgeat, and Campari whip, served in a tall Collins glass and garnished with a pineapple leaf and orange wheel.
đ Modena Negroni: A rich, cherry-infused take, combining Confluence Gin, Stambecca Cherry Amaro, and Amarena Cherry Syrup, topped with a Campari-infused cherry.
Join us at Bonterra Trattoria this week to explore these bold, flavorful interpretations of the classic Negroni. Cheers to Negroni Week!

Staff Spotlight: Meet Amanda.
1) Where are you from?
âI was born and raised in Banff actually. I lived there until I was 18. I moved to London and then to Calgary and then to Vancouver and then back!â
2) How would you describe Bonterra to somebody who has never been before?
âItâs an amazing place, the food is SO good. They always tell you that in a job interview, run if they say working there feels like youâre with family, but here feels like the exception - truly. It is like family. Everyone is so friendly and I think that energy just really brings out the essence of the food and the atmosphere and the vibe and everything. And this patio is to die for.â
3) Who is Amanda outside of the industry?
âI have three cats and cats are everything to me. I am a collector of mid-century modern furniture. I probably have about 55 black velvet paintings in my home. I like thrifting, I like vintage, I like curation. I like hunting down bargains for stuff like that.â
You can find Amanda behind our bar making beautiful beverages that are as colourful as her style and aura! Thank you Amanda for sharing a glimpse of who you are with us.
