Meet the Makers: Cesarine Introduces Exclusive Food Producer Experiences Throughout Italy

From lavender-covered hills overlooking Bologna and ancient beekeeping traditions in Chianti to centuries-old pasta workshops near the Amalfi Coast and a restored Sicilian baglio surrounded by vineyards, travelers can now access some of Italy’s most extraordinary food stories.

BOLOGNA, Italy, June 16th 2026 — Cesarine, Italy’s oldest network of home cooks and culinary hosts, is expanding its offering with a curated collection of exclusive experiences hosted by carefully selected local producers throughout Italy. Designed for discerning food lovers and travelers seeking meaningful connections, the new experiences provide rare access to the artisans, families, and traditions that have shaped Italy’s culinary heritage for generations. From private wine tastings and historic balsamic vinegar cellars to visits to artisanal dairies, olive oil estates, and family-run farms, the collection offers an immersive journey into the craftsmanship and cultural identity behind some of the country’s most celebrated products.

Highlights from the Collection

La Galeazza – Bologna, Emilia-Romagna Nestled in the hills overlooking Bologna and the iconic Sanctuary of San Luca, La Galeazza invites guests to explore lavender fields and cultivated gardens by foot or jeep. Visitors can discover the prized Violet Artichoke of San Luca, enjoy guided tastings of estate-produced olive oils and essential oils, and complement the experience with a private cooking class and seasonal meal.

Buondonno – Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany Set among Tuscany’s rolling Chianti hills, this intimate winery experience introduces guests to the region’s winemaking traditions. Beyond the vineyards, visitors can learn about the estate’s beekeeping practices and historic aging cellars before enjoying a tasting of wines paired with local cheeses, cured meats, and house-produced honey.

Pasta Cuomo – Gragnano, Campania Just outside the Amalfi Coast, in the town widely regarded as Italy’s capital of pasta-making, guests are welcomed into the world of Pasta Cuomo. Through a guided tour of the workshop and museum, visitors discover centuries-old production methods - including bronze-die extrusion and slow drying - before experiencing the flavors and traditions that have made Gragnano synonymous with artisanal pasta.

Tenuta Baglio Passofondo – Alcamo, Sicily Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards in northwestern Sicily, Tenuta Baglio Passofondo combines luxury hospitality with agricultural tradition. Housed within a beautifully restored 19th-century baglio, the nine-hectare estate offers guests an immersive experience of Sicilian culture, wine, and rural heritage in an atmosphere of tranquility and elegance.
