Across Toscana- A Winemaker's Dinner
A journey through the wines and flavours of Tuscany.
Tuscany is a region best discovered around the table, through its wines, its food and the people who bring them to life.
On Monday, November 2, STOCK Grocer welcomes guests for Across Tuscany, an intimate winemaker’s dinner created in collaboration with our friends at Cavinona. Bringing together four distinctive Tuscan producers, the evening explores the region’s diverse wine landscape through a five-course menu by Chef Giacomo Pasquini, with each course thoughtfully paired with wines from the participating estates.
Four Producers, One Tuscan Journey
From the vineyards of Montepulciano to the celebrated wine country of Montalcino, Tuscany offers a remarkable range of expressions shaped by its landscapes, traditions and winemakers.
For this dinner, we’re bringing together four producers, each with their own perspective on the region:
-
Le Bèrne — Known for its wines from Montepulciano, a historic Tuscan wine region.
-
Istine — A producer focused on expressing the character and diversity of Sangiovese across the vineyards of Chianti Classico.
-
Castello Tricerchi — A historic estate in Montalcino, home to the renowned Brunello di Montalcino.
-
Amantis — A Tuscan winery producing wines that reflect the character of the Maremma region.
Together, their wines offer an opportunity to explore the different expressions of Tuscany, from fresh and vibrant styles to the depth and structure of its celebrated reds.
A Taste of Tuscany, course by course
Each course has been thoughtfully paired to complement the wines and bring the flavours of Tuscany to the table.
