Advanced Wine & Cheese Class: Italian Adventure w/ Santé

You're invited on an immersive plunge into the heart of Italy's delicious treasures, where we embark on a journey beyond the familiar and well-trodden path. We'll venture into the less-traveled wine routes, where indigenous grape varieties shine, often overlooked in the shadows of their more famous counterparts. From the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily to the Alpine heights of Piedmont, Italy's diverse terroirs offer a captivating mosaic of flavors, aromas, and textures that are waiting to be explored.

But a wine experience in Italy wouldn't be complete without the perfect accompaniment – cheese. Italy is not only renowned for its wines but also for its exquisite cheese production. Our journey will also uncover lesser-known Italian cheeses that harmonize beautifully with these hidden gem wines, creating unforgettable pairings that showcase the rich culinary heritage of this enchanting country. So, join us in this exploration of Italy's lesser-known wines and cheeses, and let's savor the undiscovered treasures together.

This special class will be hosted by our friend and Philly-based sommelier, Dan Solway of Santé. Dan has converted his Italian Market apartment into an intimate dining and wine tasting space, having hosted dozens of tastings and events with some of the best chefs in the city.

Please note this class DOES NOT take place at the PCS Classroom. This event will be held at the Santé dining room, located in the Italian Market just a few blocks away. Upon booking, you will recieve the address.
