ITALY YOUR WAY: TAILOR-MADE AND RELIABLE EXPERIENCES AND EVENTS FOR GROUPS

For over 35 years, we have been providing our customers with authentic Italian experiences, always keeping alive the great passion for our business and the constant search for innovative ideas and paths.

Italy is a unique country: unique for its breathtaking landscapes, its artisanal activities passed down through generations, its works of art that enrich our cultural heritage, and above all, for its cuisine. Our recipes and products are recognized and appreciated worldwide.

In few other countries in the world, it is possible to ﬁnd such a vast range

of food and wine products, making Italy the undisputed leader in the agri-food sector.

Our journeys are often themed, ranging from trekking to architectural visits, but excellent cuisine is always present. It is not even conceivable to visit Italy without a delightful slow stop based on good food, whether it‘s a Michelin-starred restaurant or a typical trattoria. Here, through the silent work of thousands of handsheads-hearts, small masterpieces of Italian cuisine and wine are born.

A warm welcome to Italy, but above all, enjoy your meal!
