Le Piane Horizontal: Intimate Wine Dinner

On Wednesday, November 5th, join Sommelier Alex Sachanko and Executive Chef Rece Hogerheide for an extraordinary evening at the Chef’s Table in The Apparatus Room at the Detroit Foundation Hotel. This exclusive dinner—Le Piane Horizontal—invites just 16 guests to explore the rarely seen depths of Alto Piemonte through the lens of one of Northern Italy’s most revered and quietly brilliant estates: Le Piane. From the alpine elegance of Erbaluce, to the haunting complexity of Spanna (Nebbiolo), and the untamed charm of Vespolina and Croatina, this curated tasting is a rare glimpse into the soul of a region often overshadowed, yet deeply profound. The evening will begin with a welcome toast, followed by a five-course tasting menu meticulously crafted by Chef Hogerheide to complement the nuances of each wine. Music will be thoughtfully curated to echo the elegance and mood of the evening, creating a seamless blend of taste, sound, and story. Tickets are $200 per guest, with seating limited to ensure an intimate, immersive experience. For those seeking a deeper understanding of Italian wine and its lesser-known treasures, Le Piane Horizontal promises to be a truly unforgettable night.
