We are located at 1079 St. Clair Avenue West in the heart of Toronto’s Corso Italia neighborhood. We are easily accessible via the St. Clair streetcar.

Question 2

Do I need to be a wine expert to attend?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Whether you’re a Barolo collector or just curious about Italian wines, this event is for you. Our host provides approachable, entertaining insights into the "Fog of War" theme that everyone will enjoy.

Question 3

Is this a full dinner or just a tasting?

Accepted Answer

It is a guided wine and food pairing experience. You will receive a curated selection of Piemonte wines, each paired with a specific regional dish (small to mid-sized plates) from the Desoto’s kitchen. It is designed to be a satisfying culinary journey.

Question 4

What exactly is a "Tavolata"?

Accepted Answer

A Tavolata is an Italian tradition of gathering around a long, communal table to share a feast. Unlike a standard sit-down dinner, our event is designed to be social and interactive, bringing together neighbors and wine lovers from the St. Clair West community.

Question 5

What does "Nebbiolo and the Fog of War" mean?

Accepted Answer

This is our specific theme for the Piemonte region! Nebbiolo is a grape famous for the "fog" (nebbia) that surrounds its vineyards, but it also has a fascinating history of surviving through centuries of European conflict. Our host will share these stories as we taste.
