Italian Wine School
After a successful run through 2023, back by popular demand is Civico 47's Wine School!
Renowned wine educator and “friendly Sommelier" Luke Collard (aka Luca Collardini) returns to take you deeper into the regionality of beautiful Italy. Starting this February, over ten months we set for new course starting from the coastal Sicilia, visiting the likes of Toscana, sunny Puglia, the altitudes of Alto Adige and many more.
Chef Matteo is back on board to keep your palates invigorated with his regional-specific curated menu to get you feeling like a true local to each visited province.
Included in your evening is 6 glasses of carefully selected wines, a 5-course menu to accompany and your learning material. Long-table places are limited to just 12 people per session. No special knowledge of wine or Italy is required, just bring your palate.
Dietaries must be noted when booking to allow suitable substitutes to be available.
Discounts available to those who book in for multiple school days. Once you reach 3 consecutive bookings, we will send you a personal discount code for up to $75pp off your 3rd course booking.
Please email Luke for these details.
If you can't make any of these dates and wish to recreate your own group experience, don't hesitate to ask Luke!
