About this Event
Flight Plan: Florence & TuscanyWednesday, October 1, 2025 | Wedgewood Cheese Bar, Carrboro
Pack your appetite—no passport required. Our next Flight Plan dinner takes you to Florence and across the Tuscan countryside, one course at a time.
This five-course journey pairs iconic regional dishes with wines that bring them to life. From saltless Florentine bread traditions to Chianti’s summer gardens, Siena’s gamey ragùs, Arezzo’s hearth-roasted pork, and Lucca’s chestnut forests, every stop tells a story of place, history, and flavor. Wine pairings to be announced.
