(AND THE FIRST FOR 2024) exploring micro-regions &
remembrance of things past, of hidden corners & some more obvious
ones of our collective memories & experiences of Italia collated

Our first three GRANTURISMO dinner events were sold-out. However, we
have listened to your feedback & have opted to host a lunch this
time for those of you whose nights are tricky!
On SUNDAY, APRIL 14 we will delve into the culturally rich & slow
life region of PUGLIA that, because of its strategic position, has
a layered history visible in its eclectic architecture & cuisine
that dates back millenia.
We will be presenting a 4 course share style LONG LUNCH

PLATEAUS, COASTAL OUTCROPS & WHITE WASHED STONE FARMHOUSES with
'Slow Food' cooking & some rarely seen specialities of
