Il Caminetto Presents: Ornellaia The Marquee Experience

Event Description

Discover the undisputed crown jewel of the Whistler Cornucopia festival. Hosted by Mark Anthony’s Luxury Specialist, Simon Turpin, this evening promises a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Bolgheri’s most legendary estate: Tenuta dell'Ornellaia.

Founded in 1981 on the sun-drenched slopes of the Tuscan coast, Ornellaia was born from a visionary pursuit of perfection. This is the estate that helped redefine Italian viticulture, proving that Bolgheri's unique maritime microclimate could yield Bordeaux-style blends of unrivaled majesty. These iconic Super Tuscans are rarely poured in such an intimate and highly exclusive gathering, making this a true unicorn event for serious collectors and passionate aficionados alike.

The evening commences with an elegant welcome reception, setting the stage for a masterful, terroir-driven multi-course culinary journey. Crafted specifically for this occasion by Culinary Director James Walt, Executive Chef Mark Mcloughlin, and the esteemed team at Il Caminetto—Whistler's premier destination for Italian fine dining—each dish is meticulously designed to harmonize with a comprehensive tasting of the estate's prestigious portfolio. Guests will be treated to a profound progression of these legendary pours, journeying from their spectacular, mineral-driven white expressions through their iconic, world-renowned Bolgheri reds, before concluding perfectly with their exceptionally rare, late-harvest dessert wine.

Poised to be one of the most unique and celebrated food and wine experiences of Whistler Cornucopia, we invite you to join us for this rare opportunity to experience the absolute zenith of culinary luxury and Tuscan hospitality.
