La Tour d’Italia: An Italian Wine Journey with Joe Gurba
Pack your palate and join us for La Tour d’Italia, a guided tasting tour through some of Italy’s most exciting wine regions—hosted by the always-entertaining and deeply knowledgeable Joe Gurba. From crisp northern bubbles to bold southern reds, this experience celebrates the diversity, history, and soul of Italian winemaking, one beautiful glass at a time.
We’ll begin with lively sparkle and fresh coastal whites, glide into vibrant rosé, and finish with powerful, age-worthy reds from iconic appellations like Barolo, Taburno, and Umbria. Along the way, Joe will share stories of terroir, tradition, and technique, helping you discover what makes each region and grape variety uniquely Italian.
Whether you’re an Italy enthusiast or just beginning your wine journey, La Tour d’Italia is designed to be approachable, educational, and deliciously fun. Sip, learn, and experience Italy without leaving the city.
