If you missed our last W**e Dinner, here’s a little taste of what was happening behind the scenes with Chef Nikola. 🍷🍽️

And you won’t have to wait long for another seat at the table.

We’ve just added two special W**e Dinners featuring fantastic producers from Piedmont, Italy — and for both evenings, the w**ery owners themselves will be joining us at Cafe Aura in Manchester to share their w**es and stories.

These dinners came together quickly, which means dates, menus, pricing and full details are coming very soon.

Interested? Keep an eye on our page and CafeAura.com for the announcements — and don’t wait to reserve once they drop. 🍷🇮🇹

Who would you bring with you to the next W**e Dinner?

An evening of incredible w**e, great company, and a menu to remember. 🍷🍽️

A look back at last night’s La Spinetta W**e Dinner and some of the incredible creations from Chef Nikola. Each course was thoughtfully prepared to complement the w**es of La Spinetta and make the evening something special from start to finish.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Cafe Aura for the experience. We’re already looking forward to the next one.
