My South African Connection

A Journey of Wine, Food & Discovery from Cape Town to the Karoo

For years, Theresa, my South African collaborator has entrusted me with creating memorable journeys through Italy for the groups she brings to Europe. Now, we are turning the journey around.

I am delighted to invite my guests to discover South Africa through her eyes—and through the same shared philosophy that has always connected us: a love of exceptional food and wine, beautiful places, genuine hospitality and experiences that go far beyond the expected.

Over ten carefully curated days, we will experience the energy of Cape Town, the vineyards and culinary traditions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, the Overberg and the vast, captivating landscapes of the Karoo, staying in distinctive lodges and enjoying food and wine experiences selected for their quality, character and sense of place.

For me, this is more than adding another destination to Lusso e Gusto. It is the natural continuation of a relationship built over years of creating journeys together—only this time, South Africa is welcoming us.
