Come visit Virgola Italian Wine & Oyster Bar, located in downtown Chattanooga, and experience an interactive, informative wine tasting & food pairing! It’s the perfect way to discover a favorite new bottle of wine with friends and enjoy an assortment of our culinary creations in the process. You get to taste fabulous wine and eat some of our delectable menu offerings, such as imported Italian meat & cheese, while we explain to you why they should be paired together and how to enjoy them. It's like receiving a college degree in goodness!  

Gathering our Tasting Club members in the Fall for a feast and discussion of Alsatian and Friulian wines has become a bit of a new tradition! This will be our first tasting Dinner with Chef Jeremy Auspitz at the helm of Alimentari restaurant. If you haven’t been in the past couple of months, you may be surprised at the changes he’s made. Until recently, at St John’s restaurant, Chef Jeremy has been impressing guests with thoughtful plating and carefully sourced ingredients from local farmers. He continues this tradition at Alimentari, and our tasting Dinner is the perfect way to check out the new menu!

Our events are private, educational gatherings, but you can join the club by attending any event and completing the form. The club is free to join, and dues vary from one event to the next.  Cost: $90  Tickets
