With Chiara
from La Bottega,

MESA is my invitation to gather around a Mediterranean table, where food becomes story, connection, and discovery. Through immersive experiences - the first edition will take place in Sicily - MESA offers tasting journeys that celebrate the genuineness of local flavors, the conviviality of tradition, and the cultural richness of a unique land.
Each journey is a path through vineyards, local Bottegas, rural kitchens, and shared tables: a sensory experience that engages all the senses – from the scent of freshly baked bread to the sound of local dialects echoing through street markets.
Guided by producers, chefs, and guardians of culinary heritage, whoever joins will rediscover the true essence of Mediterranean food culture: seasonality, simplicity, and love for the land.
More than a trip: it’s a return to the authenticity of taste, lived together, with slowness and wonder.
