Would you like to learn more about the amazing wines of Piemonte? Do you already love and appreciate Barolos and Barbarescos? If the answer is “yes” to either question, then you will want to join this dinner! By calling in a few favors, I was able to get world-renown Italian winery, Michele Chiarlo, to be at Solare for an evening of Piemonte wines.

The evening begins at 6:15pm with a Reception with Adam Verona, and then Adam will lead the wine portion of the Dinner which starts at 6:45pm. Chef Filippo Piccini is designing a custom 4-course dinner to perfectly match the Michele Chiarlo wines. The price for the 4-course dinner and 5 Michele Chiarlo wines is $96.  In our Private Room – Limit 16 guests around one community table.    Reserve today via email or call 619-270-9670.
