Eleonora Fenocchio Winemaker Dinner
US$200.00 per person
Prepaid
13 Mar 2025 only
18:00
On Thursday, March 13th at 6pm, we are honored to host Eleonora Fenocchio of the legendary Giacomo Fenocchio estate in Barolo for an intimate dinner at Arden. This is a rare opportunity to experience a selection of their cru Barolos—wines that exemplify the historic power and elegance of Piedmont—alongside a very special skin-contact wine that has never been available in the Portland market before. For over 150 years, the Fenocchio family has remained steadfast in their commitment to traditional Barolo winemaking—long fermentations, extended macerations, and aging exclusively in large Slavonian-oak casks. Their wines are known for their purity, elegance, and an unmistakable expression of terroir. At this dinner, we’ll be pouring two of their Bussia Cru's side by side—an extraordinary opportunity to explore the nuances of one of Barolo’s most historic and renowned sites. Nestled in a natural amphitheater, Bussia offers ideal sun exposure and complex calcareous-clay soils that create wines of power and finesse. We will end the night with a special library pour of Bussia to see how these outstanding wines age. In addition to their world-class reds, the Fenocchio estate has begun producing tiny amounts of an orange wine made from Arneis, called Anima Arancio. This wine, fermented on its skins for 30 days and aged in amphora, is a textural, aromatic marvel—one that barely leaves Italy. We’re thrilled to be able to pour it at this dinner. This is an evening for lovers of Barolo, of course—but also for anyone who appreciates wines with history, integrity, and a true sense of place. Join us at the table. Tickets are limited—reserve your seat now! Ticket price includes service charge.

Truly one of the best restaurants in Portland. Everything we ordered was delicious and presented beautifully. The foie gras is probably the best we have ever eaten and we’ve eaten foie gras in some of the finest restaurants in Austria. The wines were exceptional.

Outstanding dinner. The beet salad was really enhanced with the yogurt and crunchy topping with African spices. My spaghetti with foraged mushrooms and brown sauce was also delicious, if sky over salted. The cured ocean trout on waffles was creative but flavorful.

As usual, Arden remains at or near the top of our list. Great neighborhood wine bar/bistro with unusual menu options. Love the Stoner's Scoop for dessert!
