WIne Travel

After years of fielding requests from friends, colleagues, and family members who wanted to know what to do, where to go, and especially what to eat and drink in Italy, my colleague Dr. Carmen Gomez and I have created unique Italian enogastronomic travel experiences. Our itineraries are carefully curated and designed around eating, drinking, and learning: guests stay with us in a luxurious country villa from which we depart on daily excursions to engage with the deep history and rich culture of Italy through food and wine!

Danielle Callegari, Ph.D., CSW

You know me! I’m the doctor (of Italian Studies, that is), and here’s your chance to spend time with me talking food and wine, culture and history as we taste our way through some of the most spectacular bottles made in a region that has been producing wine since before Dante was writing poetry. I’ll provide a series of private tastings, accompany you on visits to my favorite hard to find wineries, and lead tours through ancient city centers.

Carmen Gomez, Ph.D.

Before receiving her Ph.D. in Italian Studies, Carmen spent years living and working in Tuscany as an enogastronomic tour guide for chefs, industry reps and passionate students before embarking on her academic career. Previously the language coordinator at UC Davis, she now teaches at La Scuola, San Francisco, and in addition to knowing her way around a bottle, she knows Italy like the back of her hand.
