A Trip to Piemonte! (Friday 5/17)

You all have been asking for it! So here we go. Piemontese dinner series again at Strega!!

Join us for a culinary journey to Piemonte, Italy's North Western tip known for it's rich French-influenced cuisine and world-renowned wines. Think egg yolk pastas, truffles, strong cheeses, butter, hazelnuts, rich meat braises and earthy wines to wash it all down. Gather your friends and family and join us for this special evening.

Piedmont is a large beautiful region surrounded by the Alps on the border of France and Switzerland. Piedmont gets it's name from mid-evil Latin meaning 'at the foot of the mountains'. It has gorgeous mountains and hills dotted with valleys and lakes throughout. The Piemonte hills tend to be covered with thick fog, providing the perfect environment for the famous Nebbiolo grape ('nebbia' means fog in Italian). We hope you'll join us for this Piemontese feast!
