On October 14, 2015, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Giovanni Gaudio from Sacramento, California. Accompanied by his wife Sheri and by a team of six culinary professionals, he was on a  food and wine tour of Italy to discover the country’s top-quality products. 

Their itinerary included stops in the regions of Friuli Venezia-Giulia and Veneto, to visit businesses  such as confection makers Loison. Along with the guests from the United States were Mr. Tommaso Peruzzi and his wife Ela Raczycka, who are in charge of accommodation at Villa Sogara and majority shareholders of Poland-based Viniversum Sp.zo.o,

After visiting Loison Museum and Library, the guests had the opportunity to taste samples of the 2015 confections, such as the Chamomile Panettone, the Macarons with Mandarin Panettone Cream and with Lemon Panettone Cream, in addition to Licorice & Saffron Panettone Pops.

The visit continued with Dario Loison’s presentation of his company and a guided tour of the workshop, where the visitors got to see the overall production process of Loison artisanal confections.

The guests from overseas, who were visibly impressed by and delighted with the products’ taste and the packaging designed by Sonia Pilla, received a gift from Dario and then moved on to the shop, where they purchased more items before continuing on with their journey.

Good bye and see you soon!
