Description

Be transported to a hilltop Tuscan villa that evokes the romance of Italy.


Stroll in the gardens with a Negroni, an apéritif that stimulates appetite, and in our experience, lively conversation with friends.  Or sip Prosecco as Italian opera wafts throughout the grounds.  As our soprano, Sophia Chew, serenades you, perhaps it is the arias from Rossini's "Barber of Seville" that will awaken your fondest Italian memories.


The professional pizzaiolo at the authentic outdoor wood-burning oven will satisfy your gourmet pizza desires.  Or indulge in traditional antipasti, a playful pasta, hearty secondi, and luscious dolci.  Take a tour of Italy through our selection of hand-picked regional Italian wines and then, finalmente, a toast with homemade limoncello, to a beautiful evening with friends.  


Our gift to you of limited production, hand-bottled extra virgin olive oil, from Monte Lago Vineyards & Olive Orchards, will preserve the memories of the evening.  


Your adventure will unfold in the gardens of Phil and Julia Chin's home in Piemonte.
