Legendary Gaja Winemaker Dinner with Giovanni Gaja

There is no bigger name in Italian wines than Gaja. Five generations of Gajas have been producing wines in Piedmont’s Langhe hills since 1859. On October 24, you can enjoy the world-famous Piedmont wines that Wine Spectator calls “the finest Italian wines ever made.”

The team at Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 is excited to host special guest Giovanni Gaja, a fifth-generation vintner, to share his family’s winemaking history and chat about the northwest Piedmont region.

Make plans now to join us at this exclusive dinner featuring a five-course menu prepared by Executive Chef Juan Urbieta and seven wine pairings from Gaja.
