Welcome to La Dolce Vigna

Ciao! My name is Leslie Rosa. I am the founder of La Dolce Vigna, a wine-focused travel company.

 

As an art-curator-turned-sommelier, my passion is to create immersive experiences and itineraries in which each day tells a story and offers an in-depth look at the history and culture of a particular region through the lens of wine.

 

Whether you are interested in a small group tour with other cultured travelers, a private trip with friends and family, or a bespoke itinerary for you to explore on your own, I would be happy to create something special for you.

Where We Go

What Clients are Saying About Us

The air is wine. The grapes on a score of rolling hills are red with autumn flame. Across Sonoma Mountain, wisps of sea fog are stealing. The afternoon sun smolders in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive.

— Jack London

We just returned for the most amazing trip with La Dolce Vigna, and we can’t stop talking about it! Every day was filled with first-rate adventures. We couldn’t have been more pleased!

— Mary C. 

WOW! What a fantastic trip. We were incredibly impressed with the planning and organization exhibited throughout the entire week. The wineries, winemakers and wine families who we were introduced to were nothing short of amazing and showcased the effort and passion that these families bring to their wines, year after year.

We had an amazing adventure with La Dolce Vigna.. I’m not normally a tour group person but I’ve been converted. It was such a great balance of wine experiences and culture. We’re already looking at Leslie’s next tour listings.

— Kenneth S.

Traveling with La Dolce Vigna is amazing, pure magic. Leslie carefully planned and lead our group through cultural experiences, amazing food and moments I will never forget. She took all the worry and the stresses out of the trip, making it a fun and colorful vacation.
