Eleonora Fenocchio Winemaker Dinner
$200.00 per person
Prepaid
Mar 13, 2025 only
6:00 PM
On Thursday, March 13th at 6pm, we are honored to host Eleonora Fenocchio of the legendary Giacomo Fenocchio estate in Barolo for an intimate dinner at Arden. This is a rare opportunity to experience a selection of their cru Barolos—wines that exemplify the historic power and elegance of Piedmont—alongside a very special skin-contact wine that has never been available in the Portland market before. For over 150 years, the Fenocchio family has remained steadfast in their commitment to traditional Barolo winemaking—long fermentations, extended macerations, and aging exclusively in large Slavonian-oak casks. Their wines are known for their purity, elegance, and an unmistakable expression of terroir. At this dinner, we’ll be pouring two of their Bussia Cru's side by side—an extraordinary opportunity to explore the nuances of one of Barolo’s most historic and renowned sites. Nestled in a natural amphitheater, Bussia offers ideal sun exposure and complex calcareous-clay soils that create wines of power and finesse. We will end the night with a special library pour of Bussia to see how these outstanding wines age. In addition to their world-class reds, the Fenocchio estate has begun producing tiny amounts of an orange wine made from Arneis, called Anima Arancio. This wine, fermented on its skins for 30 days and aged in amphora, is a textural, aromatic marvel—one that barely leaves Italy. We’re thrilled to be able to pour it at this dinner. This is an evening for lovers of Barolo, of course—but also for anyone who appreciates wines with history, integrity, and a true sense of place. Join us at the table. Tickets are limited—reserve your seat now! Ticket price includes service charge.
Jolie Laide Takeover
$95.00 per person
Apr 3, 2025 only
We’re thrilled to welcome Jolie Laide—the Sonoma-based winery known for their elegant, energetic, and slightly rebellious wines. Winemaker Jenny Schulz will be in the house, pouring never-before-seen-in-Oregon wines and celebrating their official expansion into the Portland market. Jolie Laide is all about minimal intervention, native fermentations, and beautifully expressive wines—think crisp, aromatic whites; fresh, juicy reds; and their cult-favorite Trousseau Gris, which you’ll receive a welcome glass of to kick off the night. Chef Erik will be creating a four-course, family-style menu built around these wines, and you’ll have the chance to order bottles, pairings, and glasses of Jolie Laide wines throughout the evening. $95 per person. Includes 4-course food menu and welcome glass of Trousseau Gris. Price does not include additional beverages or 20% service charge. Credit card required to reserve table, but CARD IS NOT CHARGED unless late cancellation or no-show occurs. Payment will be taken the night of the dinner.

An unassuming location and ‘storefront’, the menu was modest on first read but the plates and flavors were outstanding. The service was available & knowledgeable, but never overbearing.

We love Arden and tonight was no exception. Service was above and beyond. We sat at the counter and did ala carte, sharing all dishes. Citrus salad and Ken’s bread with cultured butter. Pierogies, and Bavette steak for 2 with truffles which was divine! Finished with the BEST Basque cheesecake (or cheesecake period) we have ever had. Each course we paired with wine or a cocktail suggested by our server. No complaints. Can’t wait to come back!!
