Terra Wine Dinner Series: From Barbera to Barolo! Dinner with Francesca Vajra of G.D. Vajra
Apr 5 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Terra Wine Dinner

Francesca Vajra is one of the owner-winemakers for G.D. Vajra in Barolo and will be joining us at Terra to host a very special wine dinner.

As exemplified at the winery: “We believe in beauty, craftsmanship, attention to detail and creativity with respect for tradition” — and it shows!
