San Luis Obispo (SLO) County Friends of Italy

“A place we’ve heard of… and a Sunday that might become something more.”
There are places we plan to go…
and then there are places that call.
Laetitia has been around for a long time—
a name many of us have heard, some have known,
and perhaps… a place ready to be rediscovered.
This Sunday, we follow that nudge.
🍷
We’ll gather for a relaxed wine tasting,
arriving just before 1:00 pm
(come a little early—12:45 pm is perfect to settle in together)
…with no agenda beyond:
good wine, easy conversation, and seeing what unfolds.
This is our first visit as a group—
a moment of curiosity, connection, and possibility.
✨ Could this become a South County “home” for us?
✨ A place we return to… grow into… share with others?
We don’t need to know yet.
We simply begin.
🍾
I’m delighted to be co-hosting this with Denille,
and something tells me… this is just the beginning of more moments like this.

Group size is currently limited to 8.

We’ll see what’s possible.

Join us if it calls to you. 🍷

What is Bocce Ball?
Bocce Ball is a game that dates back to Ancient Rome and is still one of Italy's favorite sports.

It’s easy to learn but offers enough strategy and skill to keep things competitive!
