Chef Giovanni Spataro

The evening's cuisine is in the capable hands of Chef Spataro, who was born and raised in Palermo, Sicily.

He was formerly with Culina Ristorante + Caffe at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills as Chef de Cuisine.

The tantalizing menu and wine pairings created for the evening by Chef Giovanni are featured below.

Buon appetito!

Tocco Vini is the host of the evening's dinner wines. The winery is in Alanno in the province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Italy. They are a family-run business and a certified organic winery.

"We at Tocco Vini have chosen to make an authentic wine that reflects the land it comes from long ago.



We have chosen to love what we do, providing wines we would enjoy having on our table."

George Tita

Tanaro River Imports was founded by special guest George Tita along with his friends & family. He has led the effort of growing Tanaro from the original three wine producers in 2008 to nearly 40 in early 2026. Based in Irvine, Tanaro imports smaller family-owned estate wines that exemplify the ideals of responsible viticulture (e.g., organic, bio-dynamic, regenerative agriculture) in order to make a broader social impact.
