WHY CHOOSE US

We will do our utmost to satisfy all your requests: we will design a trip to suit just you. You can rely on our (direct) experience, on our ability to listen and understand the precise details of your needs, and on a network of carefully selected experts and local people.

Working with you we’ll find the very best that each place has to offer. If you like to embrace something different, immerse yourself in a culture, enjoy its food and its landscape, experience a tasting room, lose yourself in a painting or gaze in wonder at the nave of a church, if you love haute couture or are a street fashionista, do not hesitate to tell us.

We have traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers by all means of transport, even on foot. We enjoy dishes prepared by Michelin-starred chefs and trying great wines; but we also love the taste of bread and chocolate and spring water, sitting on a mountain top or in an urban park. We know well the comfort of a chain hotel, the fascination of a resort, the charm of a historic building, the shelter offered by an alpine hut.

We are true professionals, people who plan experiences with character, for people of character.

YOUR TRAVEL DESIGNERS

We’ve been traveling forever. For work, for pleasure, alone, as a couple, with the family, with friends, old and new. We have twenty years of experience as travel consultants and teachers of tourism studies. We’re authors of guidebooks and publications on tourism, travel, food and culture with the leading Italian publishing houses. We love what we do. We like to go just that bit further, off the usual tracks, exploring deeper, going beyond the surface. Seeking new situations, sensations and destinations that leave a mark or signal a significant new trend.

We both have a Master’s degree in Tourism Economics & Management awarded by CISET (Centre of International Studies on Tourism Economics) at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice. We are

Technical Directors (Travel & Tourism Agencies), Sommeliers belonging to AIS and Olive Oil Tasters (members of the National Organization of Olive Oil Experts).

As tourism and culture specialists, we provide consultancy services through Meridies – itinerari di cultura e turismo® (www.meridies.net) – for the hospitality industry in both the public and private sectors. We carry out research projects and develop effective communication and marketing strategies for tourism providers. We have been leading contributors in defining the criteria for applied studies in Food and Wine Tourism. We have teaching experience on various degree courses and masters programmes – including the University of Venice (Italy), the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna and UniSR of Milan. We are the authors of several books. Our textbook Food and Wine Tourism. Integrating Food, Travel and Terroir (CAB International, Wallingford-UK, 2nd edition 2017) is also available in Italian and Spanish.

Over the last 3 years we’ve run 7 marathons.
