Wine Dinners
When wine meets culinary art, it creates a tale of flavour that captivates and delights.
Villa d’Este is delighted to announce the return of the exclusive Wine Dinners, a series of events where iconic wine producers meet the elegance of haute cuisine, pairing the finest gastronomy with remarkable wine.
Our Wine Dinners provide the perfect opportunity for a captivating culinary experience to discover unique aromas, flavours and emotions.
Villa d’Este’s Wine Director, Alex Bartoli, has carefully selected leading labels that accentuate the refined culinary creations of our talented Executive Chef, Michele Zambanini.
A story of taste, born from the union of wine and culinary art.
From November to December 2025, Villa d’Este will host five exclusive evenings celebrating exceptional wines and haute cuisine. The Wine Dinners are a tribute to iconic labels and signature dishes, curated by Wine Director Alex Bartoli and elevated by a cuisine of refined elegance.
Each evening also offers a drink & learn experience: an opportunity to delve into the stories, regions, and distinctive characteristics of the wines being poured, guided by the insight of those who selected them. An invitation to experience wine not only as pleasure, but as culture.
Upcoming Wine Dinners:
05/11 | Domaine des Comtes Lafon

03/12 | Jacques Selosse
