Scopo Divino: Winemaker Dinner with Trentadue

Tuesday, September 30th with Two Seatings: 5:30pm & 8:00pm

Miro & Trentadue

One of the most fun and entertaining Winemaker Dinners we've done was with a unique and talented Bulgarian winemaker who was consulting with a small vineyard for a brief while. He was funny, engaging, and his wines were so ridiculously good we've had guests ask for wines from that dinner 8 years later. Well we found him again at the winery he's been with since 1999, and his wine is still as oustanding as ever.

This September Scopo Divino is proud to present Miro Tcholakov and Trentadue Winery. We will be experiencing four of his exceptional wines, paired with an amazing three-course meal crafted by celebrity guest Chef and legend, Erik Hopfinger.

The Event

This will be a Three Course Tasting Meal with Wines Paired for each course, and will include the opportunity to meet and engage with Miro Tcholakov himself. You'll also have the chance to meet Erik Hopfinger. As guests at the dinner you will have access to special reserve one-night-only pricing on bottles of the wines to go.

Pairing wine & food is an art, and these dinners are built in reverse. As in we taste and select the wine first, THEN craft the meal around them. In this way you'll come away with an excellent understanding of the wines - how you might drink, serve, share, and cook with them. (See full menu details including vegetarian options below).

The first seating will be at 5:30pm, the second at 8:00pm. We show guests to their tables 15 minutes prior to each seating and start promptly at the times listed.

Note: The tickets are $69, all eventbrite fees, taxes, service charges, & gratuity is included.
