For the first time, La San Marco opens its doors to Italy’s best coffee roasters to participate in an exclusive coffee masterclass: the ‘D.scovery Masterclass’.

The event will feature three exceptional speakers, each of whom will delve into a topic related to how the various parameters, from those relating to extraction methods to the characteristics and settings of the machine used, contribute to obtaining a cup of quality coffee.

It will be a day of training based on sharing opinions and expertise between the speakers and participants, with the aim of deepening their preparation in the coffee sector.

There will also be a presentation of La San Marco’s flagship products, tastings and a visit to the Castelvecchio farm for a comparative wine tasting in parallel with the coffee.

The event will be held in Gradisca d’Isonzo on 13 April and will be repeated on 14 April.
