Tuscany - The food, The Wine And The Truth.
Thursday 27th November at 7pm
A Dinner and Talk at Caldesi in Campagna - £65 per person for a 3-course menu.
Selected Tuscan wines available by the glass or bottle.
Join Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi for a captivating evening celebrating Tuscany — its food, the wine and the surprising history that shaped its landscape and culture.
During her research for her recent Masters in Food Anthropology, Katie interviewed some of the older generations of Tuscans who remembered the traditional life on the land. She uncovered memories of their fascinating childhoods, the challenges as well as their enduring love of the land. In this intimate event, she will share their stories and reveal the surprising truths behind Tuscany’s timeless beauty and cuisine.
As you listen, you’ll dine on a delicious Tuscan menu inspired by those very traditions, served in the warm, convivial atmosphere of Caldesi in Campagna. Guests will be seated at communal tables (unless you request otherwise), evoking the spirit of a true Italian gathering — where food, wine and conversation flow.
To accompany your meal, a selection of Supertuscan reds and classic Tuscan whites will be available by the glass — each chosen to complement the flavours of the evening.
This promises to be an unforgettable culinary and cultural journey through Tuscany’s history, guided by the passion and expertise of Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi.
