Undiscovered Gems of Italy


In Italy there are quiet seaside villages and hidden mountain retreats still undiscovered by the tourists and guidebooks. There are breathtaking wine regions where you can sample some of Italy's finest wines and foods, while experiencing the true spirit of Italy. Visiting our “Undiscovered Gems” is a journey into hidden Italy and an experience unlike any other!


diVino offers the following custom tours in Italy's undiscovered gems:

Le Marche


View from my terrace - Monte Conero and the seaside

2 years ago I moved from Tuscany to this lovely and yet undiscovered region. Now I've decided to make it my home forever and I've planted roots in my dream project

Costa Digiano, our own small organic farm in this beautiful countryside.

The lanscapes of Le Marche offer views that reach from the snow-capped Sibillini mountains to the white rocky coasts of the Conero seaside. In between rolling hills pathworked with pastures and fields are dotted with hill top villages, olive groves and vineyards, matching even the most breathtakingly famous Tuscan landscapes. Fabulous food & wine and a quiet agricultural and untouristy atmosphere make Le Marche an extraordinary region where you will experience a truly authentic Italy.

Le Marche is located on the Adriatic coast, about 3 hours south-east of Florence. This region has been somewhat overlooked by the main tourist track, perhaps because of its location on the east side of the Appenine mountains or perhaps due to its vicinity to more famous destinations such as Tuscany and Umbria. Whatever the reason, we are thankful because this has made Le Marche a fabulous place to visit and to live and one of Italy's best kept secrets!

Starting in 2011 diVino now offers our one of a kind wine & gourmet experiences in Le Marche!

Just a few of the hand crafted experiences available in Le Marche:
