For over 15 years, we have been bringing Italian wine culture to the United States, selecting the outstanding labels and sharing the stories of the people behind them. Over time, many friends met during our tastings asked us: “Why don’t you take us to meet the producers, the vineyards, and the places you tell us about?” 

This is how Athesis was born: the new soul of Grapes and More, dedicated to hospitality and lifestyle.

With us you won’t just see Italy. You will live it, as a guest and a friend.

With us you won’t just see cities and monuments. You will walk through vineyards, meet the people who work the land every day, explore hidden villages, taste wine alongside its makers, hear their personal stories, and bring home unforgettable memories.

Because behind every wine, there is a person. And behind every monument, a story.

We take you to meet them.

A curated wine, food and lifestyle journey through the authentic heart of Northern Italy.

The Fall Escape is designed for travelers who want more than a standard tour. It is a small-group experience created around wine, food, culture, local access and the pleasure of discovering Italy through the people who live it every day.

Based in Verona and surrounded by some of Northern Italy’s most beautiful landscapes, this journey brings you into vineyards, historic villages, traditional kitchens, family-run estates and places that most visitors would never find on their own.

With Athesis Way, you won’t just visit Italy. You will Live Italy like an Italian!
