1400 Harvest in Northern Italy

Join us for a feast in the style of Trento Italy 1390-1410

Join us for an immersive day of feasting and entertainment in the style of 1390-1410 Northern Italy. The Perfectly Period feasts have been held around the Known World to create the closest possible experience of what it would have been like to enjoy a feast during a specific time and place. All participants should plan to wear a houppelande gown so that everyone can, for one day, immerse themselves in a Northern Italian feast.

More specific information about what to expect can be found under FAQs and About tabs.

The decor, food, place settings, entertainment, and dress will be as close as we can get to ~1400 Italy based on the frescoes on the walls of Castel Buonconsiglio, which is the inspiration for this feast. Our researchers have been hard at work bringing those images to life.

Cost:
Regular seating: $75
Upper table: $125

The fee includes a day board and a feast of four courses with upwards of three dishes each. (The Upper Table will have special treats not available to the other diners.) There will be time-appropriate entertainment throughout. Maiolica dish sets will be used and can be purchased for $50 per set.

Tickets will go on sale on March 15th on a first-come basis. More information coming soon. There are a limited number of seatings for each level, so plan ahead.

Note: This is not an SCA event. Rather, this is a private event hosted by a group of enthusiastic researchers.
