One of Piedmont’s most influential winemakers arrives in Arlington for a one-night food and wine event you cannot afford to miss!
Five Wines, Five Courses, One Unforgettable Piedmont Night
On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, Liberty Tavern hosts a wine dinner with Chiara Boschis of Barolo’s E. Pira & Figli estate. The event begins at 6:00 PM and features five Piedmontese wines paired with five courses from Executive Chef Ulysses Cabahug, Sous Chef Ome Sarceno, and Executive Pastry Chef Bridie McCulla.
Tickets are $125 per person (prepaid on OpenTable). Seats are limited and expected to sell out quickly. Liberty Tavern prepares breads, pastas, pastries, and sausages fresh daily.
The team has hinted that signatures like beef lasagna, fritto misto, spring burrata, asparagus alla Milanese, and rigatoni bolognese could surface during the pairings. Above all, this is a rare chance to meet the producer behind some of the most celebrated bottles in the Langhe.
Who Is Chiara Boschis and Why E. Pira & Figli Matters
Chiara Boschis became one of the first female Barolo producers in the late 1980s, stepping into the historic E. Pira & Figli house in 1980 alongside her parents, Franco and Ida. The family, now in its ninth generation of Barolo winemaking, has produced wine in the region since the 18th century. Today, brother Giorgio Boschis joins Chiara at the helm.
The estate farms roughly 11 hectares across the appellation’s most prized cru sites, including Cannubi, Mosconi, Ravera, and Baudana, and has been certified organic since the 2014 harvest. Moreover, production stays small at about 40,000 bottles annually, with vineyard work done strictly by hand.
Wine Advocate‘s Monica Larner recently awarded the 2020 Barolo Cannubi Boschis 97 points, praising its exceptional fruit and elegant finish.
