Set Sail to Italy Wine Dinner

Compass Room and Steakhouse | Thursday 2 March

The Moors and Romans left an indelible mark on the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, infusing the land with a rich cultural legacy. From food and wine to architecture, their presence is still palpable today. Since then, these islands have been a beacon for artists, scholars, and adventurers, drawn by the promise of unparalleled beauty, rich history, and unmatched culinary delights.

Sardinia is steeped in sailing history, made famous by HH The Aga Khan's Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, is a haven for the wealthy and famous, drawn by its clear blue waters, white sandy beaches, and abundance of seafood. From the wind-swept mountains to the traditional towns and villages that still preserve the island's culture and traditions, the island is full of hidden gems.
