On 22 October 2025 in Zurich and on 24 October 2025 in Meyrin, Switzerland, four masterclasses were held focusing on the perfect pairing between Prosecco DOC and Grana Padano PDO, hosted at the city locations of the Luigia restaurant chain.

Organised in collaboration with Gambero Rosso, the masterclasses offered food & beverage professionals the opportunity to take part in a unique tasting experience, exploring the characteristics of three different types of Prosecco DOC paired with Grana Padano PDO aged 16 and 20 months.

Led by Marzio Taccetti, Coordinator of the Vini d’Italia guide by Gambero Rosso, the masterclasses provided participants with an in-depth look at both products, highlighting their versatility and pairing potential.

The events welcomed professionals from the food and wine sector, including restaurateurs, buyers, and importers, who were eager to discover new pairings and deepen their knowledge of these iconic products, further strengthening the connection between European excellence and the Swiss food and wine scene.

In October 2025, Zurich and Bern became exclusive stages for two exceptional events, celebrating Grana Padano PDO and Prosecco DOC—symbols of certified quality and true ambassadors of Italian tradition. Organised in collaboration with Gambero Rosso, the evenings were guided by Marzio Taccetti, Coordinator of the Gambero Rosso’s Vini d’Italia guide, Arianna Pizzolato representing the Prosecco DOC denomination, and Ilenia Martinotti from the Consorzio Grana Padano PDO. They introduced the unique qualities of these products, along with their versatility, through pairings presented by the partnering restaurants.

The guests, consisting of industry professionals and media representatives, enjoyed delicious dishes such as a zucchini flan with 18-month aged Grana Padano PDO, melted with mint and basil oil, and pumpkin risotto with crispy sage and 12-month aged Grana Padano PDO, all paired with a selection of Prosecco DOC wines.

Between guided tastings and networking moments, Edinburgh and London hosted two premiere events of Cheers and Cheese to EU in October 2025, designed to showcase the affinity between Grana Padano PDO and Prosecco DOC. Held within the framework of the Restaurant Weeks, the events offered guests a convivial experience dedicated to discovery and sharing.

Each evening opened with a welcome glass of Prosecco DOC and an introductory session led by experts in these outstanding European products. In London, guests were guided by cheese expert Jessica Summer and Elizabeth “Wine Girl” Hawthornthwaite, a specialist in the wine sector. In Edinburgh, the in-depth presentation was led by cheese expert Ned Palmer and wine expert Diana Thomson.

Industry professionals and media representatives enjoyed a tasting of three typologies of Grana Padano PDO (aged 9, 15 and 20 months), paired with Prosecco DOC and Prosecco DOC Rosé, served on boards enhanced with preserves and fruit. Short thematic talks and table service featuring canapés, enriched with delicious dishes such as black tagliolini with truffle served in a Grana Padano PDO wheel and Grana Padano PDO custard tart with pears and caramelised pecans, completed this unique experience.
