A UNIQUE & IN DEPTH EXPERIENTIAL JOURNEY IN ITALY

Susanna Wriston

As founder of Italia Dolce Vita, I've always been passionate about sharing Italy's hidden gems, culture, and traditions, having been raised between both countries. 

After building a successful career in corporate marketing, I turned my focus to curating authentic Italian experiences for the discerning traveler.

Since founding Italia Dolce Vita in 2010, I have personally crafted thousands of tailor-made journeys for clients, ensuring stress-free and unforgettable experiences. 

As a professional Sommelier and Italian Wine Scholar, I also lead many slow-paced, wine- and food-focused boutique tours, giving travelers an insider's view of Italy's true heart.

My goal is to provide meaningful and memorable experiences that connect people with the beauty and authenticity of Italy.
