ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
The Marchesi di Barolo (owned and operated by our friends the Abbona family) is the oldest winery in Barolo dating back over 200 years. Our winery tour will showcase their historical wine-making facilities.

Hotel Villa Beccaris is a five-star deluxe hotel with incredible views over Barolo. Each room is unique and presented in a typical Piemontese fashion, with beautiful gardens and free secure parking.

Terroir Selection is managed by Italian sommelier Davide Pasquero. David works closely with a number of local Piemonte wineries, offering tours, tastings and access to purchase. Davide selects the Barolo wins that are paired with our Saturday dinner, and presents them to the group.

Everybody is welcome!
You don't have to be a club member to join this event. Everyone is welcome to book and attend our open gourmet events, which are always well-attended; early reservations are recommended.
