TROTTING IN THE
WINE WORLD
The Grape Trotter is the Italian wine and food friend you have always wanted.
During a tour with the Grape Trotter you can open the rarest bottle of wine at a cult winery or taste from the barrels at a boutique family run estate. Together you can experience the most beautiful countrysides, visit quaint villages and Unesco World Heritage sites, as well as enjoy the wine scene in Italian cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome and the Amalfi Coast.
Filippo is in his element in front of 500 bankers at a gala event, with a small group of wine collectors in a private home doing a vertical tasting, or in a classroom teaching the next generation of sommeliers Italian wine 101.
Whatever the setting, he loves to take his listeners on a journey through the tastes and sensations of great Italian wine and food.
FAVORITE WINE MOMENTS
OVER THE YEARS
"Every time I organize a wine evening or a wine tour it is always like the first time for me:
every person is different and has a story to tell and so is every bottle of wine.
The day one of my guests goes back home feeling uninspired or unchanged from an experience with me is the day I will start another life."
