Sicily in the Templeton Gap 🍷 An Afternoon at Clesi Wines

Sicily in the Templeton Gap 🍷 An Afternoon at Clesi Wines
A month or so ago, many gathered at Luca’s Deli & Wine for a Sicilian Springtime Winemaker’s Dinner featuring the wines of Clesi.
The evening was delicious, lively, and wonderfully overflowing with food, conversation, and wine.
And somewhere between the courses and the last glass poured, one thing became clear:
We wanted to experience these wines again — slowly, intentionally, and in the place they call home.
So this Sunday afternoon, we’re heading to Clesi Wines in the Templeton Gap for a relaxed portfolio tasting focused on their Italian-inspired wines and Sicilian roots.

Clesi specializes in Italian varietals grown here on the Central Coast — wines meant to be shared around tables, among friends, in the spirit of conviviality and “shared life.”
This isn’t about rushing through a tasting flight.
It’s about slowing down enough to actually taste.
To discover.
To connect.
To appreciate the stories, people, and place behind the wines.

We’ll gather for their Portfolio Tasting featuring five wines selected by the winery team.
🍷 Tasting Fee: $20 per person
(waived with bottle purchase)
We have space for a larger group for this gathering, so whether you’re already passionate about Italian wines or simply curious to explore something new, you are warmly welcome.
After the tasting, those who wish can continue the afternoon somewhere nearby for food, conversation, and la dolce vita.
Salute,
