Travel to Italy & Private Planning
It goes without saying that Italy's beauty sells itself. Italy is famous for its monuments, fine arts, history, culture, landscapes, tradition, exceptional food and wine, but above all, Italy is a life style.
It goes without saying that Italy's beauty sells itself. Italy is famous for its monuments, fine arts, history, culture, landscapes, tradition, exceptional food and wine, but above all, Italy is a life style.
This magical life is still alive in small towns and villages off the beaten path, where life is slow and rich in tradition.
We offer private tours of Italy. We travel to Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast at a leisurely pace, the Italian way, on less-travelled roads close to major cities and tourist hotspots but far away from noisy crowds, following the footprints of our personal experience and life. (small groups 6/8 people)
We also provide a Private Planning service to assist you in planning your personal trip and make your dream holiday come true.
The Italian Way - “Souvenir d’Italie”
Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean Diet isn't a "don't do it" diet; rather, it emphasizes healthy eating and enjoyable lifestyle habits.
Coaching and Cooking
The Mediterranean Diet isn't a "don't do it" diet; rather, it emphasizes healthy eating and enjoyable lifestyle habits.
If you do not have any medical conditions but find that healthy eating guidelines and the Mediterranean Diet Food Pyramid are not clear enough for you, or if you become confused about food choices, I can guide you and assist you in making better food choices.
I will be able to understand your current eating habits through a food diary and will also suggest and show how to cook some Italian recipes at home.
I enjoy coaching and run the Mediterranean Diet & “Vino Italiano” Italian Wine, (click here) Seminars at Cuesta College Community Programs as well as privately.

Wine & Food
As native Italians, we @BellaVia are knowledgeable about both cuisine and wine. We provide small-group wine tasting tours that, upon request, can also include an Italian dinner prepared by an Italian chef.

We live on the Central Coast and have many ties to San Luis Obispo County wineries, but we also can provide food and wine tours across Italy, where we have many relationships and connections.
As wine enthusiasts, we like to tell our friends and customers that, while we enjoy paring wine and food in the Italian tradition, we truly believe the ideal pairing is the one you will enjoy.
In love with food we also cook for your events, paring food with wine & EVOO. Check our Private Chef page.
Private Chef
We offer a variety of Italian dishes, from traditional ‘Antipastos’ to main courses and very yummy desserts. We are also glad to help you choose the wine to pair when planning your menu.
