For our next dining experience, Chef Will from Bacio Trattoria and Trent from Wine Journeys decided to share some of our personal favourite foods with you (thanks to one of our guests, Lauren, for the idea).  So, Trent chose the appetizer and Chef Will chose the main and dessert.  You will love Tuscany, its wine, and  its cuisine!

When in Tuscany, Trent absolutely fell in love with the food, but the downside was it was hard to find in this area.  For one evening, we are going to solve that problem!  Chef Will wants to take you on a culinary journey to Tuscany with a traditional appetizer, pasta, and dessert. The great news – he can make this menu accommodate those who want a vegetarian option.  Just let us know your preference.  To make the evening even better,  Trent will pair the menu with 3 beautiful wines.  It will be the perfect experience of good wine, good food, and good company.

If you would like extra meals or dinners and wine for one person, please email us at: itrent.mayers@gmail.com
