Our team is made up of people who are absolutely the best in their fields. We’re guides, tour leaders, wine experts, cheese-makers and chefs; we love our land and our traditions and we’re enthusiastic about the opportunity to share these with our guests. Almost all of us are native Italians—we grew up with homemade pasta, ragù, and grapes harvested in September and made into wine on the porch. We want to envelop you in Italian culture, while providing expert guidance during your entire vacation.
