SUMMARY:The Italian Winter Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:The Italian Winter Kitchen \nA four-course exploration of the traditional flavours of Rome in the heart of winter. \nTo truly know Italian food\, you must understand its regionality.  In Rome\, winter cooking is rooted in restraint and resourcefulness with dishes shaped by the season\, built from humble ingredients\, and elevated through technique rather than excess. The Italian Winter Kitchen brings that philosophy to the table in an intimate\, thoughtfully paced four-course dinner that reflects how Romans truly eat during the colder months. \nHosted by Bacio Trattoria and Wine Journeys\, this evening is designed for those who appreciate not only what’s on the plate\, but what’s in the glass. Each course is paired with wine\, with insights shared throughout the evening to explore how flavour\, balance\, and tradition work together at the table. \nAntipasto \nCrostini con Salsiccia\nToasted rustic bread topped with seasoned sausage. \nPrimo \nVellutata di Patate e Zucchine\nA silky\, comforting soup of potato and zucchini. \nSecondo \nSalsicce alla Romana con Lenticchie\nSlow-braised pork sausage served with lentils\, a deeply traditional Roman winter dish. \nDolce \nAffogato alla Nutella\nVanilla gelato topped with Nutella and finished with hot espresso. \nThis is not a themed dinner or a reinterpretation\, it’s an honest expression of Roman winter cooking: unfussy\, flavour-driven\, and deeply satisfying. \nDate: Thursday\, February 26\nTime: 7:00 pm \nSeating is limited.\nThis experience is intentionally intimate\, encouraging conversation\, discovery\, and connection over thoughtfully prepared food and carefully paired wines. \nReserve your seat early to avoid disappointment. \nBuon appetito.

SUMMARY:Flavours of Rome: A Roman Food and Wine Experience
DESCRIPTION:Flavours of Rome\nA Roman Food and Wine Experience\nStep into Rome for one evening with Chef Francesca from Bacio Trattoria\, who was born and raised in Rome. \nThe clink of glasses. The hum of conversation. The aroma of slow-simmered sauces drifting from the kitchen. \nThis is not just dinner\, it’s a journey into the heart of Roman cuisine\, where each course tells a story and every wine has a purpose. \nOn this evening\, you’ll experience the flavours\, traditions\, and textures that define one of Italy’s most iconic culinary regions brought to life through a thoughtfully curated four-course menu and perfectly matched wines by Trent from Wine Journeys. \n\nThis Is More Than a Meal\nThis is what happens when food and wine are experienced together\, the way they were meant to be. \nEach course is paired with a wine selected not just to complement the dish\, but to elevate it. To reveal something new. To create that moment where everything just clicks. \nYou won’t just taste the wine\, you’ll understand it. \nAnd more importantly\, you’ll understand why it works. \n\nThe Experience\nWe begin\, as the Romans often do\, with something simple and deeply satisfying. \nAntipasto\nCrisp\, golden supplì\, Rome’s beloved street food\, served hot\, with that unmistakable stretch of melted cheese that gives it its name. Comforting\, nostalgic\, and impossible not to love. \nPrimo\nA classic parmigiana di melanzane\, layered and baked in the traditional style. Rich\, rustic\, and full of depth\, the kind of dish that speaks of home kitchens and time-honoured recipes. \nSecondo\nRoman-style gratin vegetables with wine braised salsiccia . Savoury\, hearty\, and beautifully balanced. This is where the wines begin to show their full character. \nDolce\nA pistachio gelato to finish. Clean\, elegant\, and just sweet enough to close the evening on the right note. \n\nThe Wines\nEach wine has been carefully selected to reflect the spirit of the region and the character of the dish it accompanies. \nThroughout the evening\, you’ll be guided through each pairing. What to look for\, what to notice\, and why certain combinations create something greater than the sum of their parts. \nNo jargon. No intimidation. Just discovery. \n\nWhy This Evening Matters\nThere are plenty of places to have dinner. \nThis is about sharing a table\, discovering something new\, and experiencing the kind of evening that lingers long after the last glass is poured. \nIt’s about slowing down\, connecting\, and enjoying wine and food the way they were always intended\, together. \n\nReserve Your Seat\nThis is an intimate experience with limited seating. \nOnce the table is full\, it’s full. \nIf you’ve been meaning to join us for one of these evenings\, this is the one to do it. \nReserve your place and experience Rome: one glass\, one course\, one moment at a time. \nPlease contact us in advance of purchase about any dietary restrictions.  We will do our best to accommodate our guests.

SUMMARY:A Spring Evening in Italy
DESCRIPTION:A Spring Evening in Italy\nStep into the warmth and simplicity of an Italian spring. The light lingers a little longer\, the air softens. The table becomes a place where simple ingredients tell their story. \nThis is the spirit behind A Spring Evening in Italy.  It’s a thoughtfully curated four-course dining experience designed to transport you\, if only for a few hours\, to the warmth and ease of an Italian table. \nWe begin as all good Italian meals do\, with an antipasto that celebrates freshness. A plate with ripe cherry tomatoes\, peppery arugula\, and creamy mozzarella coming together in perfect balance. It’s a gentle invitation to slow down and savour. \nThe evening continues with a bright\, elegant risotto al limone. Silky and refined\, it captures the essence of the season.  A dish that’s vibrant and quietly luxurious. \nFor the main course\, pollo alla cacciatora brings comfort and depth. Slowly simmered with olives and capers\, this classic dish reflects the rustic heart of Italian cooking\, always honest\, rich\, and deeply satisfying. \nAnd to finish\, a playful twist on tradition: limoncello tiramisu. Delicate\, citrus-kissed\, and just indulgent enough\, it offers a memorable final note to the evening. \nEach course is thoughtfully paired with wine\, selected to complement and elevate the flavours on your plate\, creating a seamless journey from first bite to last sip. \nWhether you’re planning a date night\, reconnecting with friends\, or simply looking for something that feels a little different\, this is your invitation to slow down and enjoy the moment. \nJoin Bacio Trattoria and Wine Journeys at the table. \n$110 per guest (plus HST and Gratuity)

SUMMARY:Discover the World's Vineyards: South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Not all great wine comes from where you think… \nSome of the most memorable bottles aren’t the ones you’ve had a hundred times.They’re the ones that surprise you.The ones that make you pause\, look at your glass\, and take another sip just to understand it. \nThat’s South Africa. A place where old vines tell deep\, quiet stories and a new generation of winemakers is rewriting the rules. \nIn Stellenbosch\, you’ll find elegance. Structure. A sense of history in every sip.In Swartland\, things get a little more untamed. Wine that are bold\, expressive\, alive. \nAnd when those wines meet thoughtfully paired food something shifts.  Conversation slows. Flavours open up.The night becomes more than just wine and food. It becomes an experience you didn’t expect\, but won’t forget. \nWe’re bringing both regions together for one evening of discovery\, pairing three wines with two curated appetizers designed to bring each glass to life. \nNot a tasting.  A journey. \nJoin Wine Journeys and Grillicious for this guided South African wine experience.
