Wine Battle at Bella Italia
We can’t think of a better venue for our epic wine battle than the warm, inviting surrounds of Bella Italia’s authentic restaurant. Our guests will devour 5 courses of heartwarming food cooked by talented chefs Nico Gentle and Andrea Dazzi, matched with a wine each from Elbourne Wines and Glandore Wines.
We’ll be throwing down with our good friend and winemaker, Adam from Elbourne Wines in an epic battle of vino supremacy. This light-hearted, wine-matched dinner promises a lot of laughs along the way with blind tastings, fun and games.
Join us for this flavoursome battle where one winemaker will walk away a CHAMPION, the other the POUR LOSER.
