Service Description

📅 Thursday, 23rd April 2026 🕒 19:00 📍 Benedictos Restaurant, Worcester 🍽️ Six-course tasting menu 🥂 Prestige Franciacorta wine pairing 👔 Dress code: Elegant & Refined 💰 £170 per person 👥 Maximum 30 guests Join us for an exceptional Italian wine dinner devoted entirely to Franciacorta DOCG, the country’s most refined sparkling wine. This intimate evening will explore the heritage, craft, and rarity of Italy’s highest-regarded metodo classico bubbles, in the elegant setting of Benedicto's Italian Restaurant. 🍾 About Franciacorta – The Crown Jewel of Italian Sparkling Wine Often compared to Champagne , yet entirely its own, Franciacorta stands at the pinnacle of Italian winemaking. During the evening, we will explore: - What makes Franciacorta unique and legally distinct - Extended lees ageing and its impact on texture and complexity - Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco in perfect balance - Brut, Extra Brut, Satèn and Rosé styles - Why Franciacorta’s limited production makes it so exclusive Some cuvées remain on the lees for more than 60 months, developing remarkable depth, finesse, and longevity — a level of craftsmanship achieved by only a select number of producers. Hosted by the Next Generation The dinner will be led by four young winery owners from family-run estates in Franciacorta, each playing a hands-on role in vineyard work, cellar decision-making, and winemaking direction. Together, they represent the future of the region — rooted in tradition, driven by innovation. Throughout the evening, the hosts will share: - First-hand stories from their vineyards - Winemaking choices and cellar practices - Insights into how their families have shaped the identity of Franciacorta - Their vision for the region’s continued evolution - You will be encouraged to ask questions and engage in relaxed discussion as you taste. The Experience - 6-course tasting menu from the Benedictos kitchen - 6 carefully paired Franciacorta wines from multiple family estates - Direct hosting from the winemakers - A refined, immersive setting focused on learning and enjoyment - Strictly limited to 30 guests for an exclusive shared experience. - A night dedicated to the elegance, craftsmanship, and excellence of one extraordinary region. ✨ Expect elegance, craftsmanship, and world-class bubbles. ✨ One region.
