Experience the true heart and soul of Italian wine
What we do
Private Italian Wine Events
Are you interested in hosting a tailored wine event for a group of friends in your own home or at your corporate event? We are here to provide you with a lively and engaging experience for groups of all sizes where each glass will reveal another stitch in the rich tapestry of native Italian grapes, of which there are thousands of varieties. Food pairings are also available.
Contact us to schedule your event
Welcome to the only journey of its kind through each of the 20 regions of Italy, where no two trips are alike. 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.

Sommelier Services
From helping to curate your cellar, to elevating your selection for corporate wine events or weddings, to providing tableside service for restaurant guests, we will bring our passion for small-scale producers, artisanal methods, and unique wines to delight and educate your clients. Italian wine is our passion and our focus, but we can work with you if you want to highlight a particular region, grape, or taste.
