Smellwalks itineraries 

Between South Tyrol and Tuscany, a historical investigation evolves into a unique sensory journey. The Smellwalks, olfactory walks, reveal invisible traces and awaken lost stories, transforming every step into a rediscovery where past and present intertwine in an endless cycle.

Through six stages, visitors are guided on an olfactory journey, exploring 19 essences sourced from the region, collected in an Olfactory Library. Walking through the streets of the historic center, participants will experience events that celebrate olfactory culture.

In the context of the Smellwalks, the nose and the sommelier play complementary but distinct roles. The sommelier, with his skill in tasting and describing wine aromas, transforms each scent into a rich sensory experience. Similarly, the nose—an expert in fragrances—analyzes and unveils the essences that guide participants on the olfactory journey, revealing stories and traditions through each scent.

Together, these professionals enrich the Smellwalks, creating an experience that engages all the senses and connects people through the art of perception. Both work to transform the sensory experience into something tangible and memorable, enriching daily life and celebrating the hidden beauty of each aroma.

Reviews

  • I participated in a tasting experience and tour of the town with Romina, who runs the cheese shop and helps her father on the farm in the hills above Castelnuovo. Romina is a wonderful hostess...her cheese are incredibly tasty, she clearly is very knowledgeable about Garfagnana and has a deep love for the land.

    We had a wonderful time with Romina and shared amazing experiences at her family businesses! Such warm and lovely people who really hold their trade in high regards.

    You can feel the passion this family puts into cheese making and Romina will accompany you through this tasting with enthusiasm. We tasted cheeses of different types with each one a different story. The icing on the cake was the cheese and gin tasting, something we had never tried but were pleasantly surprised.

    Cinzia from Italy

  • Excellent experience, Romina was welcoming and very nice and made us try local products also according to our tastes, accompanied by historical and artistic information and anecdotes. After cheese, wine and gin tasting, Romina took us around Garfagnana ending the visit with a delicious ice cream, the best in town!
