10/13 Tavernetta Takeover with San Francisco's A16

October 13, 2024 until October 13, 2024

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we welcome Shelley Lindgren, the celebrated owner and Wine Director of San Francisco’s iconic A16, and A16 Executive Chef Yosuke Machida, for a special Tavernetta Takeover! 

Shelley Lindgren, a James Beard Award winner and Italian wine legend, will showcase her passion for lesser-known Italian wines. With accolades like the 2023 Slow Wine Fair Award and the prestigious title of "Cavaliere dell’Ordine Della Stella Italia" bestowed upon her by the Italian government, Shelley’s love for Italy’s rare and regional varietals is unmatched. 

Chef Yosuke Machida, A16’s Executive Chef, will bring his refined cooking philosophy, blending his Japanese heritage with the vibrant simplicity of California and Southern Italian cuisine. Known for crafting dishes that are elegantly balanced, Chef Machida will offer a one-of-a-kind menu that takes guests on a culinary journey through Italy, blending flavors and techniques that reflect both his heritage and experiences working in some of San Francisco’s top kitchens.

Don’t miss this chance to experience A16’s renowned Italian wines and cuisine right here at Tavernetta! It’s an evening of extraordinary food, wine, and camaraderie with two of the most talented figures in the Italian food scene.

Each guest will also receive a signed copy of Shelley’s latest book, “Italian Wine”! This will be a night not to miss!
