Exclusive Dal Forno Romano Luxury Tasting with Winemaker Marco Dal Forno

Some wine events are memorable. A very small number are rare. On Tuesday, March 3rd, the Wine Wave is honored to host Marco Dal Forno, the visionary force behind Dal Forno Romano, widely regarded as one of the greatest wineries in Italy. This is a rare, limited-seating experience designed for serious wine lovers, collectors, and those who want to understand what relentless quality, patience, and vision look like in practice.

To taste the wines of Dal Forno Romana with Marco himself is a rare opportunity to engage directly with the driving force of the winery, with Marco offering insight into his vineyards, philosophy, and the relentless standards that have brought the winery global acclaim.

This is not a walk-thru tasting. It is an immersive experience meant to award curiosity, attentiveness, and respect for the craft. To preserve the intimacy of the evening and allow for meaningful interaction, seating is strictly limited. Once capacity is reached, no additional seats will be released.
