Truffle Festival Zoom Piedmont Wine Dinner Event

November 6th Truffle Festival Celebration Dinner: Saturday in Piedmont Wine & Truffle Dinner

Ciao Tutti! The Truffle Festival season in Italy has been ongoing since October 10th and continues through early November in Italy. Join us as we celebrate this special season with a special dinner focused on Truffles in each course and fabulous wines from Rocca Giovanni Vineyards in Piedmont to pair with each course.  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 out now from the ones we tasted last year.  

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, no cooking required, and the third, fourth and dessert will require easy, simple preparations. Non-Meat alternatives for the 4th course can be accommodated upon request.
