Sensory Dinner Experience in Umbria

Private villa dining experience in Italy with elegant table setting and warm ambient lighting

A Culinary & Sound Journey for Villa Guests in Umbria

Designed for international travellers seeking something truly unique during their stay in Umbria, the Sensory Dinner Experience blends fine dining with immersive sound design.

This exclusive format, crafted by Chef Alessandra Lazzerini and Music Designer Joe Ferranti, transforms a simple dinner in your villa into a refined atmospheric journey.

Available for private groups, luxury retreats, boutique accommodations, and exclusive venues with a fully equipped kitchen.

A One-of-a-Kind Experience in the Heart of Umbria

The Sensory Dinner Experience combines:

  • Gourmet cuisine inspired by seasonal Umbrian ingredients

  • Ambient live soundscapes created in real time

  • A curated progression from aperitivo to after-dinner mood

  • A private, intimate atmosphere ideal for small groups and couples

 

It’s not a show, and it’s not a party — it’s a refined sensory ritual designed for slow travellers and lovers of elevated experiences.
