I Custodi Dinner with Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria
July 14, 2026
On July 14th, our friends at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria are serving up a five-course Sicilian dinner with wines from Mt. Etna, the ever-active volcano in eastern Sicilia. Hundred-year-old vines grow here in rocky, sandy volcanic soil, kissed by salty winds off the Mediterranean just a few kilometers away — yielding wines that are densely fruited yet structured, with intense acidity and backbone.
Each course is paired with wines from I Custodi, "the Guardians," who have spent nearly 20 years farming Etna's oldest vines by hand. Few producers know this volcano as intimately, and it shows; their wines carry a savory, mineral depth that makes them some of the most exciting bottles coming out of Italy right now.
Five courses, $110. Wine pairing, +$55. Each seat includes a mini bottle of Sicilian olive oil and salt to take home. À la carte available throughout the evening.
While MWC will not be present, this is an incredible opportunity to taste some of our favorite wines on Mount Etna!
