Hi! Benvenuti! Let’s share a glass!
I’m Melisa, former clinical scientist, certified sommelier, and storyteller of the Italy I inherited and continue to discover.
It started with roots. Following my ancestors back to central Italy, I discovered a world shaped by vineyards, cobblestone towns, and generations of people who have preserved traditions through food, wine, and a slower way of living.
My nonno’s journey back to Italy inspired me to look deeper, because every place has a story, every person carries a story, and every bottle holds a story waiting to be shared.
Through Winedering, I uncover those stories and connect curious travelers, wine lovers, and dreamers with family-owned wineries, authentic experiences, intimate retreats, and places in Italy that feel like home.
