On Thursday 30 April, Maes, Cuisine du Terroir invites you to an evening inspired by the flavours and spirit of Italy. In collaboration with MosaeVino, this special culinary experience brings together refined Italian wines and a thoughtfully composed four-course menu, celebrating authenticity, craftsmanship and conviviality. Hosted in the intimate setting of Salon Saint-Sébastien and accompanied by the enchanting live melodies of Francine Recca, the evening unfolds as a relaxed yet elegant celebration of taste and atmosphere. A sparkling aperitif welcomes guests before a journey through Italy’s culinary landscape, where each course is perfectly paired to enhance the character of the wines. An Italian night of flavour, music and timeless charm – at the heart of Van Oys Maastricht Retreat.
