Welcome to the PicNic Table Italy Blog!

Ciao a tutti :) Benvenuti to the PicNictable Italy blog, this is a space to stay in connected and keep the PicNic Table as a family get together as always meant to be. I'll share our new endeavor with you - our tours visiting my farmhouse, Villa Belpasso in Tuscany - and beyond, plus family recipes from my childhood in Italy and favorites from the PicNic Table Cafe. As well as from my upcoming traveling discoveries .....

Let me tell you about PicNic Table Italy and what we have in store for 2025. In seven weeks our first tour takes place in my homeland region of Maremma region of Tuscany where we have a group of 16 women joining us for an eno/gastronomic and wellness tour. The 2025 Women's Tour filled quickly and we are now accepting reservations for the 2026 tour. Please enquire if you are interested in joining a fun group of gals exploring Tuscany & Rome. Our June 2025 winemaker tour is fully booked and we are taking reservations for our 2026 winemakers tours featuring Auclair and DiStefano, as well as Sightglass Cellars where we will go further afield all the way to South Africa's wine & olive oil region and venture out on safari. This tour will be March 2026 to ensure we visit South Africa during its prime Fall season in the Southern Hemisphere.
