A Taste of Central & Southern Italy
Monday, August 10th at 6pm
Join us for an unforgettable evening where food, wine, music, and purpose come together in celebration of connection, culture, and community.
A Taste of Central & Southern Italy will guide guests through a thoughtfully curated culinary journey inspired by the vibrant regions of Abruzzo, Marche, Tuscany, and Calabria. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy live Italian Jazz, beautifully styled communal tables designed by Ellen Leaf, and an immersive dining experience rooted in the warmth, romance, and effortless elegance of the Italian countryside.
This event holds deep personal meaning for our family, as 50% of the evening’s proceeds will support those fighting Type One Diabetes, a cause especially close to our hearts following Chef Max Kenison’s diagnosis with T1D in 2010.
Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Antonutti Prosecco upon arrival before settling in for a multi-course tasting experience led by John, owner of Tavolo Vigneto, who will guide guests through each thoughtfully selected wine pairing throughout the evening.
