No need to renew your passport (or track down your Real ID): Forage‘s next wine dinner heads to Tuscany so you can skip the lines at TSA and explore one of Italy’s most storied culinary regions from the comfort of Cambridge. Book a table on Tuesday, June 23rd to taste your way through four wines and a menu built around seasonal ingredients, wild herbs and rustic flavors.

Rather than focusing on the familiar red-sauce stereotypes, chefs Alycia Palame and Eric Cooper are taking inspiration from a more rustic side of Tuscany, pairing bright whites, easy-drinking reds and lesser-known varietals with seasonal dishes like marinated white bean and escarole salad, seared spigarello kale with caramelized potatoes and a choice of boar or mushrooms with polenta and lovage-strawberry salsa verde. The evening wraps up with fennel flatbread topped with Narragansett Creamery stracciatella and paired with Vin Santo.

The menu is available between 5:00 and 9:00pm, and costs $125 per person. Book your table online here for an evening of Tuscan wines, seasonal cooking and a bit of delicious armchair travel.
