About this Event
An Evening in Tuscany at St. John's Episcopal Church - Portsmouth
A Six-Course Wine and Food Pairing Experience
Step into the warmth of the Italian countryside for an evening unlike any other. An Evening in Tuscany is a fully curated, six-course wine and food pairing experience designed to transport your senses from the first crisp sip to the final indulgent bite.
The evening unfolds as a guided sensory journey, beginning with a lively and elegant sparkling opener paired with a handcrafted savory bite, and progressing deliberately through two refreshing white wines accompanied by a hearty Italian classic and a richly topped grilled entree. The experience then deepens into two bold and complex red wines alongside two beloved Italian staples, before arriving at a luscious dessert wine paired with a decadent New York-style finish.
Each wine has been thoughtfully selected from acclaimed Italian producers, featuring bottles rated between 87 and 95 points by distinguished critics including Wine Spectator and Luca Maroni. The food pairings are crafted by a professional catering team dedicated to complementing every pour with a dish that honors the flavor, weight, and character of each wine.
This is a blind tasting experience. The wines and dishes will not be revealed in advance, allowing each guest to engage fully with every pairing as it arrives. The selections move from crisp and floral to concentrated and mineral, with the final course offering a honeyed, soft sweetness that brings the journey to a graceful close.
Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply someone who loves a beautifully curated evening, An Evening in Tuscany offers an experience that is approachable, elegant, and memorable.
