About me! I’m a passionate foodie from Bologna and a certified expert in food and wine tourism. I love to bring my friends around to discover the best places to share unforgettable food experiences while enjoying the arts, culture, and nature.

Our home will be a place to rest between tastings, and possibly have some naps if we get too voracious or just relax on the sofa with a good reading. Beside that, we won’t spend much time at home, since our tasting schedule will be quite full! Do not forget you can reach out to me in the Q&A section below in case of any questions about the trip!
