Based in Bacoli, in the heart of Campania's magnificent Campi Flegrei region, Ciao Vino specializes in intimate, personally hosted journeys designed for travelers who appreciate exceptional food, fine wine, fascinating history, beautiful landscapes, and genuine Italian hospitality.
Come as a guest. Leave as a friend.
Italy Is Not Just a Destination. It's a Way of Life.
At Ciao Vino Touring Company, we believe that the most memorable journeys are not measured by how many places you visit, but by the experiences you share, the people you meet, and the memories you bring home.
Italy is a country meant to be experienced with all your senses.
• It is the aroma of freshly brewed espresso in a neighborhood café.
• The taste of homemade pasta prepared from a generations-old family recipe.
• The pleasure of sharing a glass of local wine overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
• The stories hidden within ancient streets, archaeological ruins, and centuries-old villages.
• And, above all, it is the warmth of the people who welcome you into their world.
Our mission is to bring these extraordinary experiences together in carefully designed journeys that celebrate the true spirit of Southern Italy.
We take care of the details so you can enjoy every moment.
This is not simply sightseeing. This is living Italy.
Chef Antonio: A Lifetime Dedicated to Hospitality
Born and raised in Italy, Antonio began his professional journey in the culinary arts before moving to the United States, where he spent approximately forty years building a career in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
As a chef, restaurateur, hospitality professional, and consultant, Antonio dedicated his life to bringing people together through exceptional food, wine, and memorable dining experiences.
After decades in America, he returned to his beloved homeland of Italy, bringing with him a lifetime of professional experience, an international perspective, and a deep appreciation for the traditions of his native country.
Today, Antonio combines his American hospitality experience with his intimate knowledge of Southern Italy to introduce travelers to the places, people, flavors, and traditions that make this region so extraordinary.
His philosophy is simple:
"People may forget what they saw, but they will never forget how they were treated."
With Ciao Vino, Antonio invites you to experience Italy not simply as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest.

One of Italy's Best-Kept Secrets
Just west of Naples lies one of Southern Italy's most fascinating and historically significant regions.
Bacoli and the Campi Flegrei offer a remarkable combination of Mediterranean beauty, ancient history, volcanic landscapes, charming coastal communities, and exceptional culinary traditions.
Once favored by Roman emperors and aristocrats, this extraordinary region is home to archaeological treasures, ancient villas, historic harbors, and spectacular views across the Bay of Naples.
Yet, despite its remarkable heritage, much of the area remains relatively undiscovered by international travelers.
For Ciao Vino, Bacoli is more than a destination. It is home. And we cannot wait to share it with you.
Come as a Guest. Leave as a Friend.
We believe that true hospitality is about making people feel welcomed, appreciated, and connected.
It is about taking the time to listen, understanding what makes each guest unique, and creating experiences that feel personal rather than ordinary.
At Ciao Vino, we want you to experience the Italy we know and love. The Italy of family gatherings, long lunches, unforgettable conversations, neighborhood traditions, and friendships that last long after the journey ends.
We want you to return home with more than photographs. We want you to return with stories, memories, and a genuine connection to Southern Italy.
Because the most meaningful part of traveling is not simply discovering new places. It is discovering the people and traditions that make those places special.
