Italy with Me
Susanna Wriston
OWNER & FOUNDER
Certified Professional Sommelier
Wines & Spirits Education Trust Level 3 Award in Wines
Italian Wine Scholar Guild Diploma
Certified Culinary Travel Professional
I founded Italia Dolce Vita in 2010 with the mission of sharing my passion for Italy beyond the obvious. My goal is to enrich the experience of those traveling so they can explore the authentic corners beyond the obvious.
I was fortunate to enjoy a bilingual and bicultural Italian-American life as I lived in Italy for 20 years, graduated from the University of Padua and worked for several international corporations.
I placed my knowledge and expertise of Italy to create unique travel experiences of the many hidden gems, culture, art, and fascinating culinary delights and rich wine traditions of each region and town.
Every trip is personally hand-crafted by me with every detail meticulously handled for a stress free food & wine experience so you may have a treasure trove of wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
Over the years I continued my exploration of Italy's many hidden gems and resources. I pursued my studies as Culinary Travel Professional creating the ultimate culinary experience for my clients.
The past few years have given me the opportunity to further continue my interest in wines and spirits. I obtained the Italian Wine Scholar Guild Diploma, Wines & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 Diploma, and now Sommelier Certification.
I enjoy each year accompanying like-minded travelers on my specially designed slow-paced-tours.
Join me on your next food & wine journey through Italy.
