FAQ
What is the Private Wine Dinner Experience?
The Private Wine Dinner Experience is a bespoke wine pairing service designed to elevate your dinner at a villa, holiday home or private accommodation.
Based on your menu, we carefully select the Italian wines that best complement each course. You can then choose between two options: enjoying the experience independently with our Wine Pairing Delivery or having Francesca join you as your private sommelier throughout dinner.
Do I need to have a private chef?
Not at all.
This experience can be enjoyed whether you’re dining with a private chef, preparing dinner yourselves or ordering from a local restaurant.
The only thing we need is your final menu, so we can create the perfect wine pairings.
Can we tell you our wine preferences?
Absolutely.
If there are wines you particularly enjoy—or styles you’d rather avoid—we’ll take your preferences into account while ensuring every pairing works beautifully with your menu.
What is included in the Private Sommelier Service?
The Private Sommelier Service includes everything in the Wine Pairing Delivery, plus Francesca’s presence throughout dinner.
She’ll professionally serve each wine, explain every pairing, share the stories behind the wines and wineries, and ensure every bottle is enjoyed at the perfect moment and temperature.
Do you provide wine glasses?
Yes.
If needed, yes.
Professional wine glasses can be provided upon request to ensure every wine is served in the best possible conditions.
Where is the service available?
We offer the experience throughout Tuscany and Umbria, bringing our wine pairing service directly to villas, holiday homes and luxury accommodations.
If you’re staying elsewhere in Italy, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities.
What is a private sommelier?
A private sommelier is a wine professional who brings the expertise of a fine dining restaurant directly to your villa or holiday home.
From selecting the wines and creating food pairings to serving each bottle and sharing the stories behind every wine, a private sommelier ensures every detail of the wine experience is professionally managed, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy your dinner.
What's the difference between Wine Pairing Delivery and the Private Sommelier Service?
Both options include the same carefully curated wine selection.
With Wine Pairing Delivery, we deliver the wines directly to your accommodation together with an elegant pairing guide explaining which wine to serve with each course, why each pairing was chosen and how to enjoy every bottle at its best.
With the Private Sommelier Service, Francesca joins you during dinner, serving each wine, introducing every pairing and ensuring the wine service flows naturally throughout the meal.
How do you choose the wines?
Every wine is selected specifically for your dinner.
We’ll study your menu, consider the balance of flavours, cooking styles and ingredients, then choose the Italian wines that best enhance each course.
Our goal is to create pairings that feel natural, balanced and memorable.
What is included in the Wine Pairing Delivery?
The Wine Pairing Delivery includes:
• A carefully curated selection of Italian wines
• Delivery directly to your villa or holiday home
• An elegant pairing guide explaining which wine to enjoy with each course
• Serving recommendations and tasting notes
Everything is prepared so you can enjoy a professionally curated wine pairing experience independently.
How many wines are included?
The wine selection depends on your menu and the number of courses.
We’ll recommend the ideal number of wines to create the best dining experience without unnecessary excess.
Is this experience suitable for special occasions?
Absolutely.
The Private Wine Dinner Experience is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoon stays, family celebrations, private chef dinners and memorable evenings with friends.
Why book a private sommelier instead of choosing the wines ourselves?
Selecting wines is only one part of creating a memorable dining experience.
A private sommelier studies your menu, chooses the most suitable wines, serves them professionally and introduces every pairing throughout dinner. This transforms an ordinary meal into a complete Italian food and wine experience.
Is the Wine Pairing Delivery a good alternative to the Private Sommelier Service?
Yes.
Many guests choose the Wine Pairing Delivery because it offers complete privacy while still enjoying professionally selected wine pairings.
Others prefer the Private Sommelier Service for special occasions, where having a sommelier present adds an extra level of hospitality and creates a truly restaurant-quality dining experience.
