Forage, Sip and Feast - A truffle and Nebbiolo Adventure with Pizzini & The Mountain View
Event description
Join the Pizzini family and the Mountain View Hotel team for an amazing food and wine afternoon.
Celebrate the gastronomic treasures that grow below and above the land at this special winter experience.
The rich soil in the King Valley is critical to everything notable about the region, from award-winning wine to sought-after truffles.
Join Pizzini Wines’ charismatic founder Fred Pizzini to forage for truffles under the trees, as you learn the secrets of growing one of the most expensive ingredients in the world.
After you’ve unearthed some fresh truffles, you’ll return to the Pizzini barrel room to enjoy a curated tasting of their most prized cool-climate wines, including the stunning Nebbiolo. Fred will explain how, like truffles, this Italian grape is finicky about where it grows and is notoriously tricky to produce. It will only take a sip before you discover how this tantalising, earthy red is the perfect match for the mysterious black nuggets.
With your tastebuds well and truly fired up, head to the nearby Mountain View Hotel and enjoy a delicious five-course feast carefully curated to highlight the rich local truffles, and paired perfectly with a selection of Pizzini Nebbiolo.
Transport to the various activities is included, either from The Mountain View Hotel or Pizzini Cellar Door.
