From Parma to the Prosecco Hills – A Culinary Journey with Master Sommelier Marco Avigo

Between the culinary heartland of Emilia-Romagna and the vineyard-covered hills of Veneto lies a journey through some of Italy’s most celebrated food and wine traditions. From the elegant streets of Parma to the historic villages at the foot of the Dolomites, this experience reveals the regions where Prosciutto di Parma is cured, Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar are aged with patience, and Lambrusco, Prosecco, and fine grappa are crafted with enduring expertise—places where culture, craftsmanship, and landscape are intertwined.

Designed for a small number of guests, this thoguhtfully designed journey unfolds at a relaxed, immersive pace. Each day offers the opportunity to taste, learn, and connect—visiting producers, historic villages, and family-run establishments, while discovering the traditions and people behind the specialties that have made this part of Italy world-renowned.

Throughout the journey, Italian Master Sommelier Marco Avigo personally accompanies the group from arrival to departure.
