Movie, Dinner, & Conversations

Truffles—not just any variety, but the rare, earthy white beauties. There’s nothing in the world like it! Join us for an exclusive Chef’s dinner featuring the luxurious white truffle as featured in the award-winning documentary, The Truffle Hunters (2020). Follow the story of hunters who go deep into the forests of Piedmont, Italy in search of the rare and expensive white Alba truffle. Now, you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience this exclusive ingredient as part of the CIA at Copia’s Flavor of Film series.   

Dinner is crafted by Chef Roland Passot and a special guest chef from the Italian Cultural Institute who are also part of the discussion panel with Umberto Gibin from Perbaco in SF. And, as an added treat, you’ll get to meet the talented truffle-hunting dog, Elio, and his owner Jonah Ward—as they share their personal stories about truffle hunting and their unique lifestyle.  

Presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute SF and Sabatino Truffles

Wine and non-alcoholic beverages are included with the dinner.
