Monteleone Wine Dinner

** Tickets for this event are $231 ($175 + $21 tax + $35 service fee), and can be purchased here. In the special request area, asked to be seated with the DMV Wine Explorers.**

Join us at L’Ardente on May 21 for a special wine dinner featuring Giulia Monteleone of Monteleone, a boutique Sicilian producer rooted on the slopes of Mount Etna.

Through four thoughtfully paired courses, explore the depth and elegance of Etna’s volcanic wines—from crisp, mineral-driven Bianco to layered, expressive Rosso bottlings including Qubba and Rumex. Each pour tells a story of altitude, ash and precision, brought to life by the winemaker herself.

Seats are limited for this one-night experience.
