About Eugenia
What is your most memorable travel experience?
My most memorable travel experience was my first trip to New York City. Coming from a small village in Italy, I was amazed by the size and energy of the city. The towering skyscrapers, busy streets, and diverse cultures were a huge contrast to what I was used to. It was my first time in such a big city, and it sparked my curiosity to explore more of the world. NYC truly opened my eyes to how big the world is and how much there is to explore!
Which destination is next on your list?
Next on my list would definitely be Machu Picchu and South America. I’m excited to explore the rich culture and history and to learn more about the local wine scene in Argentina and Chile. It’s also the perfect chance to practice my Spanish while immersing myself in the region’s vibrant lifestyle.
What is your favourite food and wine pairing?
My favorite food and wine pairing is, without a doubt, a nice Pinot Noir with mushroom tagliatelle or ravioli (or really any pasta!). The earthy flavors of the Pinot Noir work perfectly with the richness of the mushrooms. Whether in a creamy sauce or stuffed in ravioli, the wine complements the dish without overpowering it. It’s a simple, delicious pairing that brings out the best in both the wine and the food!
