Curated gatherings for the global resident & the local soul
Intimate, unhurried events at the vineyards, agriturismi and workshops the guidebooks miss — bringing together those who live here, those who return often, and the Umbrians who make this place what it is.
Every gathering is intentionally limited, and each takes you somewhere in the green heart of Italy. Reserve with prepaid ticketing. When an event is full, join the waiting list, and we will contact you personally if a place opens.

Vineyards & Vistas — A Countryside Walk and Villa Picnic
A countryside walk on a quintessential gravel and tarmac road through the vineyards close to the wine-growing area of Canale and Botto, with far-reaching, glorious vineyard views. Afterwards, a picnic at a private villa with a short garden tour.

A Food Lover's Adventure — Evening at the Fratelli Pira Farm
A rare visit to the agri-restaurant of the Fratelli Pira family, passionate artisans of award-winning organic Pecorino, ricotta and goat's cheeses. We caravan through rolling hills and vineyards, pausing at Bronze-Age Farnese and its beautiful viaduct — then take our places at a special table reserved outside, beneath the lit, wisteria-covered pergola, for a Sardinian feast cooked by the Pira family. Everything you eat is grown or raised on the farm.

Mezzogiorno
The long table is set. Nobody is in a hurry.
Private & personal
Bespoke Itineraries
Hosting visitors? Marking an occasion? Simply want to know Umbria beyond the obvious? We compose private itineraries around the people and places we know personally — the winemaker who opens the old cellar, the farmer of the agriturismo, the table set under a pergola.
A conversation first — your interests, pace and party
A hand-picked route of lesser-known places, booked for you
Introductions to our hosts, artisans and producers
One clear price, arranged and confirmed in advance
We are residents ourselves — internationals who chose Umbria, and Umbrians who never left. International Connexions began with a simple observation: the best of this region lives in places without signage, and the best company is often two tables away, un-introduced.
Introduce
Gatherings sized for real conversation — global residents, frequent visitors and locals at the same long table.
Uncover
Lesser-known vineyards, agriturismi, artisans and landscapes — chosen because we know the people behind them.
Arrange
Everything prepaid and confirmed in advance, so the day itself is nothing but the pleasure of it.
Il Tramonto
Dusk falls. New friends linger over the last glass.

Booking terms
Terms & Conditions
Our gatherings are intentionally small, and our hosts, farms and vendors are paid in advance. These simple terms keep things fair for everyone.
I. Booking & payment. When you confirm a place at one of our gatherings, you are committing to pay for it. We sometimes need to pay our hosts and vendors ahead of the day — which is why we use prepaid ticketing, with payment taken at the time of booking.
II. Cancellations & refunds. Places are non-refundable, whatever the reason you are unable to attend. You are always welcome to find a replacement guest for your place yourself — simply notify us of the change before the event.
III. Allergies & intolerances. When you book, it is your responsibility to tell us about any allergies or intolerances — though not simple dislikes — before the event. We will do our best to accommodate you, but please understand that it may not always be possible.
IV. Tips & gratuities. Prices include tips for the venues. You are, of course, welcome to tip your concierges and drivers directly, if so moved — always appreciated, never expected.
V. Media & content. By sharing photos, testimonials or comments with International Connexions, or by taking part in our gatherings, you grant us permission to use that content and your likeness — including photographs or recordings taken at events — in our marketing and promotional materials across our website, social media and print, without expectation of payment or prior review.
VI. WhatsApp groups. If you share your phone number with us, you agree that we may add you to a WhatsApp group for the gathering you have booked, where your number may be visible to other guests. These groups help us share timings, meeting points and lifts on the day. You are free to leave any group at any time.
