Why ME
I’m Daniela Bucchi, Private Culinary Travel Expert — and I help travelers discover the most delicious, genuine, and soulful side of Umbria. My background as a private chef taught me that food isn’t just nourishment. It’s memory, identity, joy. That’s why every itinerary I create is woven around the flavors, people and places that make this region so deeply unforgettable.I don’t offer off-the-shelf packages. I don’t chase trends.
I choose stories over staging, soul over spectacle — and I share them with you, one plate, one glass, one perfect moment at a time
What You’ll Get When You Travel With Me
Access to food & wine experiences no tourist ever sees
From hidden wineries to truffle farms, artisan kitchens and olive mills — these are places that don’t advertise. But they open their doors to me… and to you.
Tailored taste, not templated tours
Every tasting, every cooking class, every dinner is shaped around you — your style, your pace, your idea of beauty.
A chef’s eye on everything
I personally select what you eat, where you dine, and who you meet. I don’t just recommend — I build a food story around you, ingredient by ingredient, moment by moment.
Less planning, more presence
No stress, no scrolling, no wondering if it’s “the right spot.” I’ve already done the tasting — and the trusting — for you.
Human connection, not scripted tourism
Every person you meet — the winemaker, the artisan, the cook — welcomes you like a guest, not a booking. It’s not a show. It’s a shared moment.
Moments you’ll want to photograph, but never forget to live
A picnic in the vineyard. A truffle grated at your table. A toast at sunset with no one else around. These are the stories you’ll tell when you get home.
One person who’s there for you — always
From the first email to your final espresso, I’m your point of contact. No middlemen. No hand-offs. Just me — and all of Umbria.
