We are delighted to announce the launch of our new Wine Club Dinner season at Lucciola, beginning on September 5, 2024.

This season promises an exploration of young, innovative wineries and legendary estates, offering our guests a unique and enriching experience. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this series of dinners is designed to captivate your palate and expand your appreciation for winemaking.

Our new season will highlight emerging talents like Mura Mura, a rapidly growing winery from Piemonte, alongside well-established names such as Costaripa and Pio Cesare. These dinners are open to everyone, not just our Wine Club members, though members will enjoy priority booking.

Given the intimate nature of these events, with seats typically limited, early reservation is highly recommended.

We aim to host at least one dinner per month, each meticulously curated to showcase the craftsmanship of the wineries we feature. Join us for an evening filled with exceptional wines, expertly paired with dishes crafted by our chefs to complement and enhance the flavors of each bottle.
