Overview
Embark on a two-day journey In Search of Pleasure: Set between Lazio and Tuscany (Tuscia), from the volcanic hills of Canino to the ancient city of Tarquinia, this refined experience reveals the deep connection between land, culture, and cuisine.
Fine Champagnes and Tuscia region’s exquisite extra virgin olive oils meet the legacy of the ancient Etruscans—an advanced culture that flourished 400 years before Rome.
The unique program blends sensory education with soulful indulgence: master classes (Champagne and extra virgin olive oil), gourmet show-cooking, and guided walks through ancient groves and vineyards. The evening culminates in a convivium—an intimate dinner with philosophical conversations exploring pleasure in food, culture, and place—offering a hedonistic and intellectual journey through contemporary taste.
From the lush groves of Canino, famed for its exceptional extra virgin olive oil, to the ancient necropolises of Tarquinia, this experience is designed for discerning travelers who seek not only luxury, but meaning.
This journey might reveal that there is no true pleasure—beyond the purely hedonistic—without deep reflection on life, on oneself, and on the nature of pleasure itself.
