Abruzzo wine tasting & winery visit

I'm a native of Teramo, one of the most important wine areas in Abruzzo. I'm a wine & food lover and I'm increasing my culture and knowledge attending a 3y Sommelier course at the Italian Sommelier Federation (FIS). On all the FIS events, I'm able to invite my guest to join exclusive tastings, as well as having personal connections with most of the wineries in Abruzzo, allowing me to have a better treatment for our guests. As well as being an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region, I found Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my colleague & friend Alberto, we run together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and the same passion for Abruzzo and our wines. 1 of 5* reviews Marino was really knowledgeable, super friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a nice time. We can't recommend him highly enough.

One day cheese making and tasting experience

I was born and raised in these places, my ancestors already lived here as did the family that owns the farmhouse that hosts us. Over the years we have carried out agricultural activities that have expanded rural knowledge. The profession of hiking guide has taught me how to best narrate my territory. A day as a Shepherd is an immersion in uncontaminated places and with boundless landscapes, full of ancient and authentic history. It will be possible to rediscover flavors and sensations that are now far from everyday life. Making a cheese with your own hands and with the milk milked from the animals that live a few meters away strengthens the relationship with the territory and the experience, from which you can also take home the piece of cheese you made!!

Day trip from Rome: Sulmona, the town of Confetti and Pacentro - private tour

Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English speaking driver to Sulmona, the town of confetti! Thanks to a long tradition and the presence of quality raw materials (mainly almonds), the town situated in the Valle Peligna is considered one of the major producers of this delicacy widely used during celebrations such as weddings, christenings, birthdays etc. Sulmona is definitely one of those centers in Abruzzo fascinating for its architecture and the atmosphere you breathe. The best thing is to walk by sneaking in the side streets, peeking through the courtyards, stopping to admire the ancient buildings, enjoying that feeling of being in a timeless place. Continue to Pacentro, a tiny medieval village famous to gave birth to the grandparents of the singer Madonna, to the paternal ones of Mike Pompeo, American secretary of state under the presidency of Donald Trump, and to many Italian emigrants to the US.
