RECAP: PAPPAGORGIA
At the end of September, we had the pleasure of hosting our very first Pappagorgia event in collaboration with our sister company, the AKOG Hotel Group. We created this series to foster a community that shares a passion for quality, craftsmanship, food, and drink.
Our inaugural event was held at the beautiful Villa Arnica in Lana, South Tyrol, a location that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Pappagorgia.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our guests for joining us and making this event so special. Your presence truly brought the spirit of Pappagorgia to life. We would also like to express our gratitude to Villa Arnica and their dedicated team for their impeccable hospitality, to Jaime Hayon for designing the exclusive products for our attendees, and to the Pranzegg team, along with Johanna from eeeat, for their invaluable contributions.

After checking in, our guests were welcomed with an aperitif at the pool. Along an extensive vegan family style dinner by eeeat, we introduced our wine project and the according first wine. We were served dishes containing fresh produce from the garden of the Villa, which was accompanied by our wine which was harvested and made in the same region.

After an extensive brunch we drove to the vineyard Pranzegg, that we worked with for our wine. A tour of the vineyard was accompanied by various wines and small bites. Next to being introduced to the craftsmanship of natural winemaking in general, our guests learned about the values and harvesting techniques for A Kind of Wine 01.
After an relaxed Italian lunch in the garden of Parkhotel Mondschein everybody had the chance to refresh and dress up for the dinner party, which took place in the garden of Villa Arnica.
Live music set the tone and we enjoyed shared stories and a lot of laughs over a festive barbecue.

After breakfast in the sun around the pool, we wished farewell to our guests.
It was very delightful to see how common interests connect people and hope that our guests enjoyed it as much as we did.
We look forward to welcoming you at our next iteration of Pappagorgia soon! Stay tuned!
