Italy tastes better when someone who knows it plans the meal
Food and wine are not an add-on to an Italian corporate program — they are the program. Italian Concierge: Corporate DMC designs gastronomic and wine experiences that go far beyond a restaurant reservation or a winery tour. We place your group inside Italy’s food culture, and provide various dining experiences throughout your trip.
What a culinary program with us looks like
HANDS-ON
Private Cooking Classes
Regional hands-on cooking with local chefs and culinary instructors — fresh pasta in Bologna, ribollita in a Tuscan farmhouse, arancini in Sicily. Classes tailored to group size and skill level, scaled from intimate kitchen sessions to full culinary theater for large incentive groups.
Wine
Producer-Direct Cellar Visits
Private tastings at family-owned estates with the winemakers themselves — not a sales representative in a tasting room. We open cellar doors in Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, Amarone, Primitivo, and Etna Rosso that are not available through any catalog or tour operator.
Market
Private Market Tours & Farm Visits
Dawn market visits in Florence, Bologna, and Palermo with a local chef who shops alongside your group — followed by a meal prepared from what was selected that morning. Farm visits to buffalo mozzarella producers in Campania, olive oil estates in Umbria, and citrus groves in Sicily.
Dining
Michelin & Slow Food Restaurant Access
Reservations and private dining rooms at Italy’s most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants, alongside curated Slow Food osterie — the authentic, off-the-beaten-path trattorias that guidebooks rarely find and tables are impossible to get without a relationship.
Specialty
Truffle Hunting & Foraging
Seasonal truffle hunts in Piedmont and Umbria with licensed hunters and their dogs, followed by a private lunch built around the morning’s harvest — white truffles from Alba in autumn, black truffles from Norcia in winter and spring.
Artisan
Cheese, Olive Oil & Charcuterie Ateliers
Private visits to Parmigiano-Reggiano producers in Emilia-Romagna, prosciutto aging cellars in Parma, and single-estate olive oil mills in Tuscany and Puglia — with tasting seminars led by the producers themselves.
Private Event
Villa & Estate Dining
Private dinners in historic villas, on terraced vineyard estates, and in centuries-old cellars — for groups seeking a signature culinary moment that doubles as an evening event. Full F&B production managed in-house, from menu design to service staff.
Beverage
Sommelier-Led Wine Seminars
Structured wine education sessions led by local sommeliers and producers — ideal for corporate groups that want a learning component alongside the tasting. Customizable from approachable regional overviews to deep-dive vertical tastings for serious wine enthusiasts.
“Our gastronomic programs are built on thirty years of relationships with the people who actually make Italy’s food and wine — not the ones who market it. There is a difference, and your group will taste it.”
