We are pleased to host Poderi Colla of Piemonte’s
Langhe hills, famous for its Barolo and Barbaresco wines.

Poderi Colla is a young estate in a region dominated by historic names, but the Colla family’s pedigree runs deep. Beppe Colla made Prunotto wines famous in the 1960s by crafting single-vineyard wines modeled on Burgundy. When Beppe sold Prunotto in 1990, he kept his best parcels in Barolo and Barbaresco, and they became the core of the Poderi Colla holdings today.

Please join Estate Director Andrea Zarattini and Export Director Monica Genesio for a hearty dinner cooked by Chef Jammir Gray and four wines from the estate.

These are some of our favorite “new” wines in Piemonte.
Discover them with us!

Almond Gazpacho
Duck Fat Fries
2018 Alta Lange Extra Brut

Doors open at 6:15pm, we will begin the Soundbath promptly at 6:30pm.

Please arrive within 15 min of start time to settle in and enjoy some tea.

Comfy blanket, and/or pillow for your head.

Bottle of Water.

Anything needed to ensure you are comfortable laying down for 60min, (i.e. eye pillow, bolster, etc.)

What is a Soundbath ?

For those of you who are wondering what a soundbath is and what it does: therapeutic instruments such as crystal singing bowls stimulate the alpha and theta brainwave frequencies associated with meditative, clear and peaceful states of mind. Alpha brainwaves are present during light mediation, daydreaming, and deep relaxation. Theta brainwaves are present during REM dreaming sleep, deep meditation, and hypnosis. These states are considered the gateway to the subconscious mind and it’s here where we experience heightened creativity, depth of imagination, and access to the subconscious realms where deep seated healing can take place. A fantastic night of sleep usually follows!
