Authentic experiences in Italy are at the heart of Athesis Way.
For over 15 years, we have been bringing Italian wine culture to the United States, selecting outstanding labels and sharing the stories of the people behind them. Through tastings, events, conversations, and long-standing relationships with producers and wine lovers, we have always believed that wine is much more than what is poured into a glass. It is a place, a family, a landscape, a tradition, and a way of living.
Over time, many friends met during our tastings began asking us a simple question: “Why don’t you take us to meet the producers, the vineyards, and the places you tell us about?”
This is how Athesis Way was born: the new soul of Grapes and More, dedicated to hospitality, lifestyle, and authentic food wine and cultural experiences in Italy. With us, you won’t just see Italy. You will live it, as a guest and a friend.
Our idea is simple. We want to take you beyond the usual tourist routes and into the real places that shape Italian life: family-run wineries, historic villages, local food artisans, countryside roads, shared tables, and landscapes where culture and daily life are still deeply connected.
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.
Athesis Way was created for travelers who do not want to simply check places off a list. Our guests want to understand, taste, listen, slow down, and feel part of the life around them. They want beauty, but also meaning. They want comfort, but not artificial luxury. They want experiences that feel real.
Based in Verona, we create journeys through some of Italy’s most fascinating territories, including our carefully designed Italy travel experiences: Valpolicella, Lake Garda, Soave, Venice, the Prosecco Hills, and many other places where wine, food, history, and local traditions come together naturally.
We create authentic experience in Italy with care, selecting places and people we know personally. Our goal is not to show you everything. Our goal is to show you the right things, in the right way, with enough time to truly enjoy them.
For us, authenticity is not a slogan. It means choosing experiences that feel natural, personal, and connected to real local life. It means visiting places where people still work with passion, where wine is connected to family history, where food is part of a shared culture, and where every landscape tells something about the people who live there.
Our guests often come to Italy with a desire to see beauty, but they leave with something deeper: the feeling of having been welcomed into a way of life. This is why we prefer small groups, personal relationships, and carefully selected experiences over crowded tourist routes.
Some of the landscapes we explore, such as the Prosecco Hills, are recognized as part of Italy’s extraordinary cultural and wine heritage. But what matters most to us is not only the beauty of these places. It is the possibility of meeting the people who protect them, work them, and keep their traditions alive. These authentic food wine and cultural experiences in Italy are created for guests who want to feel welcomed, not simply guided.
