Un’Estate in Italia

A Summer in Italy

Escape to Italy for an evening with no passport required.

There is something magical about summer in Italy. Long evenings on the terrace, markets overflowing with fresh seasonal produce, and meals that celebrate simple ingredients prepared with care.

Join Trent from Wine Journeys and Bacio Trattoria‘s Chef Francesca for Un’Estate in Italia, an authentic four-course dining experience inspired by the vibrant flavours of an Italian summer. Each course showcases the best of the season, thoughtfully prepared, and paired with premium wines selected to enhance every bite.

Throughout the evening, your wine expert, Trent, will guide you through each pairing, sharing the stories behind the wines, why they work with the food, and how simple techniques can transform the way you enjoy wine at home. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply love discovering new favourites, you’ll leave with greater confidence and appreciation for the art of pairing food and wine.
