Meet Andrea & Lorenzo
Your guides: Andrea, a WSET-trained sommelier who spent years working the land as an agricultural technician, and Lorenzo, who brings years of experience leading tours, a love for experiences that are real rather than staged, and the warm, accommodating way of reshaping the day around his guests that they mention in their reviews. Every route on this site is one we've driven, walked, or eaten our way through ourselves.
