“Our lives revolve largely around delectable food and fine wine. We seek to raise the act of savoring to an art form, through the practice of presence, in breathtaking surroundings. We take you on sojourns to stunning sites and show you beautiful vistas in lands less traversed. We nourish you with authentic, mouth-watering, local cuisine and wine. We are Sensi e Diletti and will be your expert escorts through northern Italy, and beyond.”
