A Taste of Italy: A Guided Wine Dinner with Primo Franco & Diego Cusumano

  • Ballyhoo Hospitality 908 North Halsted Street Chicago, IL, 60642 United States (map)

Two celebrated wine families. Six delicious courses. One memorable evening in Lake Forest. Join special guests Primo Franco, owner of Nino Franco, and Diego Cusumano, owner of Cusumano and Alta Mora, for a guided Italian wine dinner that brings the stories behind the bottles to your table.

Explore sparkling and still wines through six pairings, from Nino Franco Prosecco and sparkling rosé to Alta Mora Rosso and Cusumano reds. Hear directly from the owners as you sip, savor, and discover the character of each wine.

The planned six-course menu features poached shrimp, citrus-cured salmon, pan-seared scallops, grilled Wagyu, rosemary-roasted lamb, and a berry-topped mascarpone tart. Each course invites you to discover a new pairing and linger over bite.

At $175 per person, all inclusive, make it a date night or gather friends for an evening of Italian wine, delicious food, and conversation. Reserve your seat.

If this date and time don’t work for you, join us in Wilmette on 10/ 20.
