The globally renowned wedding and party planner Liz Linkleter joins Belmond's global dining series, launching in early November with an intimate truffle-season gathering at Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany, with more properties to follow in 2027.
London, UK — 2nd November 2026: Liz Linkleter, founder and director of Liz Linkleter Events, today announces her partnership with Belmond, part of the world's leading luxury group, LVMH, as the European host of A Curated Table. The series pairs leading figures from the world of celebrations with Belmond's most storied hotels and trains, gathering a small, hand-picked group of guests for experiences that blend Belmond hospitality with the host's own creative signature.
Liz's first edition takes place at Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany, in early November. Each edition is a three-day, two-night stay for a group of ten to twelve guests, personally selected by the host from her network of clients, creative collaborators and tastemakers. The format showcases unique guest experiences at each property, culminating in a private dinner designed and produced by the agency's Creative Director Jessica Ruff.
A Curated Table launched at Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, in December 2025, and continued at Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla, in May 2026. Liz's appointment extends the series into Europe, with a dedicated European host for the first time. She will bring her design-led and discerning eye to the series, curating cultural and dining experiences that feel deeply rooted in place, showcasing the storied Belmond properties and their incredible locations.
Truffle season at Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany
Castello di Casole sits within a vast historic estate near Casole d'Elsa, centred on a restored medieval castle dating back to 998 AD and surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and woodland. Its restaurants draw on the estate's own vegetable and herb gardens and its Etruscan roots, from fine dining at Tosca to traditional Tuscan cooking at Emporio del Castello, while the Essere Spa is set in the castle's former wine cellar.
Liz's guests, drawn from her network of tastemakers, creatives, cultural figures and industry leaders, will spend two nights on the estate at the height of the white truffle season.
The gathering will be photographed by Holly Clark, the lauded wedding and travel photographer trusted by many of the world's leading wedding planners.
"I've always believed the best celebrations are rooted in place. Castello di Casole has an extraordinary sense of history and hospitality, and A Curated Table gives us the chance to share it with people we love in the most personal way - around one beautiful table, in the middle of truffle season," said Liz Linkleter, founder and director of Liz Linkleter Events. "Being invited to bring the series to Europe is a real privilege."
