Past Wine Dinners & Events
At Pendolino, wine is never just poured - it’s shared, explored and celebrated alongside the producers who bring each bottle to life.
Throughout the year, we host intimate wine dinners that showcase the craftsmanship, provenance and regional character behind some of the world’s most respected labels. These evenings offer guests the opportunity to hear directly from the makers, experience beautifully paired dishes from Chef Nino Zoccali, and discover wines that often feature on our list.
