Giro D’Italia Wine Dinner Series: Final Stop, Veneto
It has been an unforgettable culinary journey through Italy this year, and we’re excited to announce the final stop of our Giro D’Italia Wine Dinner Series: Veneto. On Wednesday, November 19th, Chef Federico Comacchio will lead us through a menu that celebrates the flavors, wines, and traditions of one of Italy’s most beloved regions.
Throughout the year, we’ve explored the kitchens and vineyards of Sicily, Piedmont, Tuscany, and more. Each dinner has been a unique exploration of Italy’s culture, brought to life through Chef Federico’s artistry and the warm hospitality of Lucca Osteria. Now, we end our 2025 Giro on a high note with a night dedicated to Veneto — the region of Venice, Verona, and the rolling hills of Valpolicella.
This evening promises to be an experience that blends culinary excellence with authentic storytelling, pairing Veneto’s world-class wines with dishes that highlight both tradition and creativity. BOOK NOW
