CONFERENCES, EVENTS, AND TEACHING TO TURN FOOD & WINE TOURISM INTO OPPORTUNITIES

As a speaker at conferences and industry events, I share my experience, insights, and best practices—helping operators and professionals seize the opportunities offered by food & wine tourism to grow and stand out in a constantly evolving market.

As a lecturer, I contribute to the development of companies, territories, and local communities by:

  • Training qualified professionals ready to face the challenges of a competitive market
  • Creating lasting value through authentic and sustainable offerings
  • Introducing innovation and actionable strategies to improve hospitality, customer experience, and direct sales
  • Fostering collaboration and networks between students, companies, and institutions
  • Sharing global trends and industry insights
  • Raising service standards, customer experience, and overall quality
  • Promoting sustainability through approaches that respect local and environmental resources
