Meet Francesca.
Born in Assisi, based in Umbria, devoted to the quiet art of sharing wine.
I’m an Italian sommelier, and for more than ten years I have worked in wine, hospitality and food & wine experiences. Through Wine Things I create private experiences for international guests and the villas and hotels that host them.
Every experience is personally curated. The wines are ones I have tasted, the producers are people I trust, and the places are the ones I would choose for my own friends.

More than wine.
A way to experience Italy.
Some of the most beautiful moments in Italy happen without a plan. A bottle opened as the light turns gold. A producer who pours one more glass because the conversation is good. A table nobody wants to leave.
Wine Things was born to create those moments on purpose: quietly, personally, and always around you. I choose the wines, the producers and the places I know and love in Umbria and Tuscany, and I bring them to your villa, your table, your journey.
These pages are an invitation. Turn them slowly.
Five promises.
A personal expert. Every experience is designed and hosted by Francesca Dei Santi, AIS Sommelier and WSET Level 3.
Built around your stay. Your location, your plans, your preferences. Never a fixed package.
Producers we know by name. Only authentic wineries we have visited and trust.
We come to you. No driving, no logistics, no planning on your side.
Made for exceptional hospitality. Designed for luxury villas, boutique hotels and their guests.
From our tables.
Moments from tastings, dinners and journeys across Umbria and Tuscany.
