Three nights. Three regions. One summer in Italy. Our 2026 wine dinner series has closed — here's what we poured, and how to hear about the next one first.
Most wine dinners hand you a glass and hope you're impressed. Italia in Three Acts handed our guests Italy — region by region, producer by producer, across three summer evenings that moved from the bold soul of Verona to the polished legacy of Tuscany. Five courses each night, every wine chosen to sit with the plate in front of you. And every evening landed where Sugo always lands — on steak.
"The best way to understand Italian wine is to sit down with it."
A look back at the summer of 2026 — three producers, three regions, one table by the river.
Tuesday, June 30, 2026 · Veneto, Italy · One Seating
Verona isn't just Romeo and Juliet — it's Amarone, one of Italy's most commanding wines. Grapes dried for months before pressing, poured against the steak course the whole night was built to reach.
Five Courses · $215 per seat
Thursday, July 16, 2026 · Multiple Regions · One Seating
For the drinker already past the famous labels. Small producers across Tuscany, Piedmont, the Veneto and the south — the wines sommeliers pour for themselves after the shift, anchored by a bold Super Tuscan.
Five Courses · $215 per seat
Thursday, August 13, 2026 · Tuscany & Umbria · One Seating
In 1971, Antinori made the wine that rewrote Italian wine. This was the night our guests sat down with Tignanello — the most polished service of the three, closing on a steak course built entirely around one bottle.
Five Courses · $195 per seat
The next wine dinner series is being planned now. These evenings sell out from our list before they're announced anywhere else — add your email and we'll let you know the moment seats open.
