Kombucha Tasting & Terra Madre Aperitivo Evening
The Living Kombucha Experience : A special Road to Terra Madre evening at Wild IS Earth
Join us for an intimate, one-off evening of living fermentation, botanical flavour and wild creativity, created especially as part of the Road to Terra Madre 2026 programme.
Hosted by Livia Palmiero, Founder & Brewster of Wild IS Earth, this extended experience goes beyond our usual kombucha tasting. Guests will be welcomed into the world of the Wild IS Earth microbrewery for a deeper exploration of how tea, plants, yeasts and bacteria come together to create a living fermented drink.
The evening begins with a guided introduction to our small-batch brewing process and the philosophy behind Wild IS Earth: biodiversity, organic ingredients, traditional preservation, low-waste practice and a deeper connection to the natural world.
You will then be guided through a curated tasting of Wild IS Earth kombuchas made with whole-leaf teas, wild nettles, flowers, roots, fruits and seasonal botanicals. Each pour will reveal a different expression of fermentation, from bright and floral to earthy, tart, aromatic and complex.
Alongside the tasting, guests will be served a specially created selection of plant-based wild bites, including our signature SCOBY “calamari”—made from the cellulose culture naturally produced during kombucha fermentation. This playful dish embodies our closed-loop approach, transforming what is often treated as a by-product into something delicious, surprising and memorable.
YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:
Hosted by Founder & Brewster Livia Palmiero: Enjoy an intimate evening led directly by Livia, founder and the force behind Wild IS Earth. You’ll go behind the scenes of the microbrewery, learning how our brews are crafted from scratch and discovering our closed-loop ecosystem—where spent tea grows mushrooms and surplus SCOBY transforms into innovative biomaterials for art and design.
The Guided 5-Glass Tasting Flight: Take an expansive sensory journey through the complex, tart depths of our live, small-batch kombuchas brewed right where you are sitting. Explore a curated flight highlighting our use of FairWild nettles, organic whole-leaf teas, and slow, wild fermentation methods.
The Signature Kombucha Kocktail (or Mocktail): Enjoy a full-sized drink from our world-class botanical menu. Choose from intricate creations like our Spicy Tide Margarita (wakame seaweed-infused tequila and fiery lemon-gingered booch), a layered Summer Spritz, or powerful, gut-healing non-alcoholic house tonics like Glowing Skin or Gentle Repair.
Plant Bites: Guests will be served a specially created selection of plant-based wild bites, including our signature SCOBY “calamari”—made from the cellulose culture naturally produced during kombucha fermentation. This playful dish embodies our closed-loop approach, transforming what is often treated as a by-product into something delicious, surprising and memorable.
