The Macau Italian Wine & Dine includes two masterclasses, a food and wine pairing event, and is followed by an after-party. The Italian gourmet event of the year in Macau is co-organized by Grand Lisboa Palace, the Wine Society of Macau, and DOC DMC Macau event agency, with the aim to promote the Italian culinary culture within the local community. The Macau Italian Wine & Dine and its carefully curated events are designed to offer an enriching dining experience, where the participants can observe authentic Italian cooking methods and witness a fragment of the Italians’ culinary habits without ever having to leave Macau.
The Macau Italian Wine & Dine is part of the World Week of Italian Cuisine–an initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation–and is interrelated with Italia MIA Festival, a project launched in 2019 by the Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong that intends to celebrate the richness of Italian culture and its varied culinary heritage.
Along with some of the most popular and symbolic Italian dishes, the event features a series of eighteen high-quality wines from well-known wine producers. Among the most notable names are Gaja, Frescobaldi, Banfi, De Stefani, and Pio Cesare; all available to be tasted by the glass exclusively on the occasion of the event.
The highlight of the Macau Italian Wine & Dine will be the Italian Cooking Demonstration – White Truffle Risotto, held on the same day. The participants will have the unique opportunity to watch and learn how to prepare two of the most popular Italian dishes. Chef Federico Pucci will show, step-by-step, how to prepare a delicious Vitello Tonnato and will reveal how to properly cook a risotto. The highly valuable and extraordinary white truffle from Italy will be shaved on top of the risotto and served to those who participate in the cooking demonstration.
