LÓCUS is the Latin word for <place>,
<location>. The response to <where>.
And in a more reflective
approach – it describes the epicentre of our interests, feelings, beliefs.
At our heart, at the lócus of all of our pursuits -
is travelling and exploring local cuisines as an act of knowledge. We love to get
acquainted with the locals and especially with the creators of the local
culinary heritage - whether farmers, winemakers or chefs. With no exception, we
always discover that food is local identity and regardless of the ingredients
used - its creators unite around the same values: simplicity, authenticity and
respect for the terroir.
LÓCUS | Exquisite Culinary Explorations are itinerant
trips for small groups that share the same lócus of emotions and the
same zest to connect with the amazing people who give uniqueness to each place.
Welcome in the club of foodies searching for cultural
experiences!
We open the
LÓCUS
series
with Italy's best kept secret - the Abruzzo region.
Overlooking the Adriatica, guarded by
the Appennini, Abruzzo is a land rich in beauty, history, and
gastronomic tradition. Abruzzo wines will delight you with their body, Abruzzo
food will surprise you with its huge variety of flavours that both sea and land
are offering.
