Description

Escape to the southern coast of Italy for a night inspired by sea air, sun-soaked vineyards, and the simple beauty of Mediterranean living.

This multi-course dining experience celebrates the vibrant flavors of Southern Italy — where coastal ingredients, rustic traditions, and bold culinary heritage come together in perfect harmony. Each course will be thoughtfully paired with wines that capture the character of the region’s warm climate, mineral-rich soils, and centuries-old winemaking traditions.

Expect bright, layered flavors, beautifully balanced pairings, and storytelling that transports you to cliffside villages, seaside trattorias, and golden vineyards overlooking the sea.

It’s an evening designed to slow down, savor deeply, and gather around the table — Mediterranean style.
