Wine tasting events are back at Cucinato Studio! Laid back, fun and interactive - and yes, informative too! - these events will introduce you to some of our favourite Italian wines, and to some of the most interesting Italian wine experts here in Toronto!

Joining me for the first wine tasting of 2023 is Sommelier Carolyn Balogh who selected her favorite 5 wines from Northern Italy which are perfect for the winter months.
While she leads you through a technical- but still fun!- tasting, we will pair each wine with a few dishes which will complement and enhance each wine.
