Across Toscana - A Winemaker's dinner

Join us for an evening celebrating the wines and winemaking traditions of Tuscany, right here in Toronto.

In collaboration with our friends from Cavinona, we are bringing together four exceptional Tuscan producers: Le Bèrne, Istine, Castello Tricerchi and Amantis, for a special winemaker’s dinner exploring the character and diversity of the region.

Enjoy a menu specially curated by Chef Giacomo Pasquini, with each course thoughtfully paired with each of the producers. Set within the unique surroundings of STOCK Grocer, it is an opportunity to discover the stories, people and wines behind some of Tuscany’s most distinctive bottles.
