Authentic Experiences
After almost three years of sharing wine and stories with Italy lovers, we’re excited to grow in a new direction! While importing small-production Italian wines is still at the heart of what we do, many have expressed interest for more personal, hands-on experiences—and we’re ready to answer by bringing you even closer to the people, places, and flavors we love most with our Authentic Experiences offerings.
If you are interested, have questions, or want to chat about either the wine-focused travel or our private tastings contact us at the email below!

Wine-Focused Travel
With Marco still based in Piemonte and a trusted network of small-batch producers ready to welcome curious visitors, we’d love to take you—and your friends, family, or significant other—on an unforgettable Italian adventure. Think small day trips, long overnight outings, and everything in between all with guidance by Marco!
Needing some trip ideas? Seek some inspiration from photos below on our recent trips. Already have an idea in mind, simply contact us and we can help!
Example travel experiences include, but are CERTAINLY not limited to…
- Guided day trip to specific wine regions (Barolo, Prosecco DOC, etc.) to try different small production wineries in the area!
- Weekend trip to less-explored areas of Italy like Valle d’Aosta to hike, explore small mountain towns, and try niche wineries!
- Small half-day excursion from Torino to a Doria Wines’ imported producer!
Private Tastings
Our wines are unique; made by authentic, small-batch producers. They convey their terroir throughout each sip. They love to have their story told whilst being savored, and we’d love to be the storyteller by offering private tastings! We’ll help coordinate a wine order through a participating retailer near you, then join the event (whatever it may be) to pour, share stories, and guide your guests through the wines. We can do blind tasting classes, vintage comparisons, grape variety comparisons, “around Italy” themes, just to name a few.
Some, more detailed, example private tasting experiences are as follows…
- Small-business events with Doria Wines, a fellow small-business, as the wine caterers and experts serving unique wines and sharing their story… an easy way to flare up the event!
- Dinner parties crave a theme, and we can help match wines to your dinner party theme/menu! Think BBQ friendly wines for an outdoor dinner, pairings for a takeout sushi party, or a make your own pizza night with pizza-loving wines!
- Hosting a more specific small-group event, I am sure wine can help! Planning a book-club/dinner party? Why not add a wine tasting to the mix. Have tons of wine-geek friends? We can compare Nebbiolo vintages from oldest to youngest. Hoping to get into wine? Let us show you a beginners tour of Italian wines from around the country!
- Pairing wines to your catered food! Nothing beats catering food for a big family party, but if only you could cater the wine. Well, send us the menu, and we can curate some small-production Italian wines to pair!
