I believe the best way to discover my region is through the people who truly know and love it.

That’s why, for some of our experiences, I work with a small network of qualified local professionals and trusted partners who share my philosophy. They bring their knowledge, expertise, and passion for the places they call home, while we make sure every experience remains personal, relaxed, and authentic.

No big groups. No rushed schedules. No tourist checklists.

Just genuine places, fascinating stories, local traditions, and people who are happy to share a little of their world with you.

• Start your day with breakfast at a local café and chit-chat with the people who live here.
• Visit a local street market.
• Shop for fresh, local ingredients.
• Cook together with expert chefs who will share their tips and secrets for preparing a truly Italian lunch.
• Take a leisurely stroll through the historic center of the village and stop for a traditional aperitivo.
• Enjoy dinner in the garden during the warmer months or beside the fireplace in winter.

Spend a day surrounded by beautiful villages, vineyards, rolling hills, and exceptional local food and wine.

• Visit a family-owned winery.
• Hear the family’s story and discover a connection to winemaking that has been passed down through generations.
• Enjoy a private wine tasting.
• Savor a lunch featuring local specialties.
• Walk, wander, or simply relax among vineyards, rolling hills, and picturesque villages.
• Toast the sunset with a glass of local wine.

• Explore the hidden side of Venice.
• Take a private local boat ride through the Venetian Lagoon.
• Visit one of the lagoon’s smaller islands. Watch master artisans create hand-blown glass in Murano, wander among the colorful houses of Burano, or discover Pellestrina, a fishermen’s island that remains wonderfully removed from mass tourism. We love Pellestrina because it can feel as though time has stood still. Enjoy lunch in a traditional “casone,” a rustic waterside restaurant typical of the lagoon.
• Enjoy a sunset aperitivo on a Venetian terrace with a romantic view.
• Admire the majestic St. Mark’s Basilica on an exclusive evening visit, when Venice grows quiet and its magnificent golden mosaics shimmer like a sky full of stars. It is a magical, timeless experience where a golden light, history, and an unforgettable romantic atmosphere come together.
• Spend a night in a beautiful apartment inside one of Venice’s historic palazzos. Wake at dawn and take a quiet walk through the “calle,” the city’s narrow streets, to experience Venetian life before the crowds arrive.

A meaningful journey for Italian-Americans who want to reconnect with their roots:

• Trace your Italian heritage.
• Visit the town or city your family came from.
• Discover churches and other places connected to your family history.
• Sometimes, the most fascinating stories are preserved in the memories of people whose families have lived in the area for generations.
• Through conversations with local elders, we may be able to help you discover relatives you never knew existed and uncover the story behind your last name. You might even learn that your family name has roots in an old profession, a nickname, or a local tradition passed down from one generation to the next.
• You’ll also have the perfect opportunity to brush up on your Italian and perhaps even learn a little Venetian dialect!

It would be impossible to list them all, given everything this remarkable region has to offer.
