SOLD OUT Piedmont Truffle Festival Zoom Wine Dinner Event

October 22nd Piedmont Truffle Festival Celebration Wine Dinner

Ciao Tutti! The Truffle Festival season in Italy will begin October 8th and continues through early November in Italy. Join us as we celebrate this special season with a dinner focused on Truffles in each course paired with fabulous wines from Rocca Giovanni Vineyards in Piedmont.  Piedmont is home to the king of reds in that region, Barolo, and many other wines that we have enjoyed in past dinners. New vintages are ready for us now!  

Join us as we welcome back Guest Speaker Gino Tranchero, Italian Family Estates Brand Manager, Monsieur Touton Imports, who has co-hosted many dinners with us. Gino is from a small town outside of Barolo, and he will share with us firsthand knowledge of the wines, foods and culture of the region. He has also arranged for a special Truffle treat for our dessert, flown here just for our dinner! So if you love truffles and love to enjoy truffle based foods paired with a fabulous lineup of 4 Piemontese wines, reserve your package today! 

For this event, you will just plate the first 2 courses and dessert, no cooking required, and the third & fourth will require easy, simple preparations. Non-Meat alternatives for the 4th course can be accommodated upon request.
