Italian Wine Tasting in Cornwall

Italy is the beating heart of the wine world. From the foothills of Piedmont to the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily, every region tells a story through its grapes. With more native grape varieties than any other country, Italy’s wines are celebrated for their diversity, character, and unmistakable sense of place.

Italian winemaking has a history that stretches back thousands of years, yet every vintage feels alive with innovation. Whether it’s the crisp minerality of Gavi, the bold richness of Amarone, or the sparkling elegance of Prosecco, Italian wines have an enduring ability to bring people together around the table — and this is exactly what we celebrate through our wine tasting in Cornwall events.

If you’re familiar with our history, then you’ll know one of our original owners, Paula Pascoe, was born and raised in Venice — and her passion for Italy, its culture, and its food and wine traditions has always been part of the Penventon’s soul. Today, the hotel remains family-owned by the Pascoe family, and that heritage continues to shape the experiences we create for our guests, especially here in our wine bar in Cornwall, which has become a hub for wine lovers near and far.

This special event is our chance to share that love with you. Over the course of the evening, we’ll journey through five carefully chosen Italian wines — each paired with a tasting plate that enhances its story. For anyone seeking an authentic Italian wine tasting in Cornwall, this evening promises something truly unforgettable.

Tickets available from Eventbrite or directly through the Penventon Hotel
