Journey to Southern Italy for an unforgettable evening celebrating the flavors and spirit of Naples. The night begins with a welcoming reception featuring wood‑fired pizza and bubbles, followed by a beautifully crafted four‑course dinner showcasing handmade pastas and vibrant seasonal dishes.
Guiding the wine experience are Master Sommelier Paolo Barbieri, his son Massimo Barbieri, winemaker and founder of Perluca, and Erin Kempe, certified sommelier and partner in Barbieri‑Kempe Winery. They are joined by Stephen Goularte, certified sommelier from Paradise Springs Winery, creating a dynamic team of experts for an immersive, story‑driven tasting.
Wines for the evening will be poured by Paradise Springs Winery, Barbieri‑Kempe Winery, and Perluca, offering guests a rare opportunity to explore three distinctive expressions from two celebrated winemaking families.
A portion of the proceeds from this will benefit the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience in partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. Gratuity is included in the ticket price.
