It’s golden hour as the Tuscan sun sets on the River Arno and gourmands take front-row seats for an unforgettable Wine Dinner at Villa La Massa.
On September 3, the elegant Il Verrocchio Restaurant on the grounds of the historic five-star luxury hotel just outside Florence will welcome diners for a memorable culinary experience centred on some of Tuscany’s finest wines.
Bolgheri, Chianti Classico and Montalcino are the three wine regions showcased in the dinner catered by resident chef Stefano Ballarino. The experience begins with a refreshing beef carpaccio framed with autumnal salad and grapes from Chianti, followed by ravioli dressed with peposo, a local peppery beef stew, Tuscan kale and stracchino cheese, while pork with pumpkin and porcini mushrooms make up the main course. A luscious lemon dessert will bring the curtain down on the delicious proceedings.
But the focus firmly remains on the wines:
