About La Dolce Vita
LA DOLCE VITA WINE TOURS offers wine tours in Italy, Spain and Portugal. The company was founded in 1999 by me and my Italian husband, Claudio Bisio. We have 19 itineraries in three categories: gourmet wine tours, wine + walking tours, and wine-intensive tours. We keep our groups small and target folks who aren’t “tour people” but want a learning vacation, engaging dialog with winemakers, gorgeous settings, and stellar food. Is that you? Come join us for a taste of la dolce vita.
