EPICUREAN AMBASSADORS

ALLA SCOPERTA DEL DELIZIOSO

I nostri ambasciatori sono giornalisti, sommelier e chef* che hanno vissuto in prima persona una delle nostre Epic Dinner o Gastronomy Experience: viaggi suggestivi alla scoperta delle tradizioni enogastronomiche locali. Toccando con mano la qualità dei prodotti e la volontà di innalzarla costantemente, sono diventati a tutti gli effetti portavoce delle nostre eccellenze nel mondo.
