Experience the true heart and soul of Italian wine
What we do
Italian Wine Events
If you are interested in hosting a tailored wine event, led by a certified sommelier, in your own home or business, we are here to provide you with an engaging experience for groups of all sizes. Additionally, we can help curate your cellar, select wines for your wedding, provide tableside service for restaurant guests, and so much more. In all cases, we will bring our passion for small-scale producers, artisanal methods, and unique wines to delight and educate.

Welcome to the only journey of its kind, led by a certified sommelier and Italian wine specialist, through each of the 20 regions of Italy. You will be immersed in wine made from rare native Italian grapes grown in their historical terroir by winemakers honoring ancient viticultural traditions. Each tour celebrates the passionate producers who focus on expressing the essence of each grape and its native land rather than chasing commercial volumes and fleeting trends.

Private Events & Sommelier Services
We love to share our passion for the joy that is Italian wine. Join us for lively, enlightening experiences - classes, parties, cooking demonstrations, talks by Italian winemakers, and more - to celebrate Italian wine, region by region. All events are led by a certified sommelier and Italian wine specialist and provide an authentic and unique experience which will transport you to Italy without ever having to leave the country.
There is a beauty and an honesty in anything local and artisanal, made with love and passion. This especially applies to wine, and Steve is a tireless advocate of winemakers who embrace their local native grapes, honor their traditions, and cherish their land. As a sommelier focused intensively on Italian wine, Steve approaches wine with an open mind and an open heart and loves to introduce anyone who loves wine, food, Italy, or just life to the pure joy of real Italian wine.
