<a id="Solare-Terlano-Wine-Dinner"></a>Italian Wine Dinner - An Evening in Alto Adige with Terlano Estate

June 26 - Italian Wine Dinner – An Evening in Alto Adige with Terlano Estate

 

We love Italian Wine Dinners! Join us in the Italian region of Alto Adige – Northern Italy on the border with Austria.

Thursday, June 26, we have Daniele Sbordi here with their wines of Terlano Estate Winery located just outside the historic village of Bolzano.

Founded in 1893, Terlano is one of Alto Adige’s most esteemed wine estates. Nestled in the Dolomite foothills, Terlano is renowned for its mountain-grown whites—crisp, mineral-driven, and age-worthy—and elegant alpine reds. 

Key varietals include Pinot Noir, Pinot Bianco (wow!) and Lagrein.

RSVP asap by calling 619-270-9670 or clicking here.

Here are all the details:

  • Thursday, June 26
  • 6:30pm Reception followed by Dinner
  • Includes their legendary Pinot Bianco wine as well as their Reserve Pinot Noir and Lagrein.
  • Daniele Sbordi leads the dinner
  • $96/guest includes the 4-course dinner, 5 select wines
  • RSVP right away if you are interested

These are great wines from a great region of Italy – and Daniele is wonderful to lead this dinner.

I hope you can join us on Thursday.
