Step into the heart of Italy without leaving Beverly Hills. Join us in the intimate private classroom for an immersive evening celebrating the very best that Italy has to offer — from the rolling vineyards of Piedmont and Tuscany to the storied aging caves of Parmigiano country.
Together we'll explore a curated selection of Italy's most iconic wines, paired alongside an array of extraordinary Italian cheeses — each with a story to tell and a terroir to taste. And because no gathering here would be complete without it, we'll cap the experience with what many consider the finest sandwich in all of Los Angeles, crafted with the same devotion to quality that has defined this beloved shop for over five decades.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or simply someone who loves great food and great wine, this is an evening of discovery, conversation, and pure Italian pleasure.
What to expect:
- A guided tasting of exceptional Italian wines
- A selection of carefully sourced Italian cheeses, presented with tasting notes
- An intimate setting in our private classroom, perfect for learning and lingering
Space is limited — reserve your seat and let Italy come to you.
Stay tuned for further information!
