About the event
A dinner and tasting centered on Alto Piemonte
VALLANA x GOCCIOLINA: Wines of Alto Piemonte is a Durham wine dinner and tasting built around Alto Piemonte wines from Antonio Vallana e Figlio, also identified as Vallana. The format pairs those wines with food from Gocciolina, making the wine producer and the restaurant’s food the central structure of the event rather than a general bar service or open-ended tasting.
The event description frames the evening around vintner Marina, Gocciolina, food, and wine. That aligns with the named format: a producer-focused wine dinner and tasting where the featured wine region is Alto Piemonte and the restaurant component comes from Gocciolina.
