About us
Tailor-made food, wine, and cultural journeys
across Italy and Europe
StappaMondo is a travel design studio specialising in tailor-made food, wine, and cultural journeys
in Italy and across Europe, created for travellers who wish to explore destinations in depth —
through wine, cuisine, culture, and the people who bring these places to life.
We design itineraries for those who seek a deeper connection with the territories they visit, experiencing them through wine, gastronomy, history, and human stories.
Every journey is conceived as a narrative experience: a carefully crafted path made of encounters, landscapes, flavours, and culture, shaped with sensitivity, first-hand knowledge, and respect for the places involved.
We work with a curated network of wineries, producers, chefs, guides, and charming accommodations to deliver authentic experiences, far from mass tourism and standardised travel offers.
Our Manifesto
Our Manifesto
Wine is a liquid territory. When you taste it, you drink a story
Wine is a liquid territory. When you taste it, you drink a story
We believe that travel, like a great wine, needs time, care, and the right pairing.
It is not about collecting places, but about understanding them.
Not about consuming experiences, but about truly living them.
StappaMondo was born from this vision: a more human, slower, and more conscious way of travelling,
where every territory is told through the people who live it every day.
For us, travelling is not simply moving from one place to another.
It is entering into a relationship.
It is giving value to time.
It is returning home with one more story, not just a collection of beautiful photos.
The StappaMondo Vision: Identity, Values, and Meaningful Travel
The StappaMondo Vision: Identity, Values, and Meaningful Travel
A different way of travelling — more human, slower, more authentic.
Our Vision
Our Vision
StappaMondo was born among the hills of the Marche, a land where wine is not just a product, but a cultural language that tells stories of families, landscapes, and traditions.
We believe in experiential travel that does not consume, but enriches.
A way of travelling to be savoured slowly,
like a great vintage wine — made of details, encounters, and authenticity.
Every itinerary begins with a passion for authentic food and wine, moves through culture, and finds its true meaning in human connection.
Because tailor-made journeys are not simple routes to follow, but experiences to live, share, and remember.
Our Mission
Our Mission
La StappaMondo’s mission is to transform every journey into an authentic experience, where taste meets culture and time begins to flow more slowly.
We design tailor-made journeys that combine experiential travel, food and wine culture, and respect for territories, creating real connections between people, places, and traditions.
Every itinerary is born from attentive listening: desires, curiosities, and personal rhythms become the map on which we design a journey that is unique, sustainable, and memorable.
The Values That Guide Us
The Values That Guide Us
Awareness — travelling with respect for places, communities, and natural rhythms.
Authenticity — experiences rooted in local traditions and real people.
Connection — genuine relationships between those who travel and those who welcome them.
Quality — care in every detail, from accommodation to the winery.
Memory — a journey that becomes part
of your personal story.
The StappaMondo Difference
The StappaMondo Difference
One of StappaMondo’s main goals is to activate a virtuous circle where:
• Local producers gain visibility and recognition
• Communities become an active part of the experience
• Municipalities enhance their cultural and gastronomic heritage
• Villages move beyond being “beautiful but empty” to become vibrant, lived-in, and sustainable places.
Experiential travel is not just storytelling — it is also a driver of the local circular economy.
It brings people together, creates opportunities, and connects past, present, and future.
For this reason, beauty alone is not enough: it must be narrated, shared, and lived.
Through thoughtful choices, genuine encounters, and meaningful connections.
Above all, through experiences that leave a lasting mark.
This is why StappaMondo was created.
From the Marche to Europe: Our Story
From the Marche to Europe: Our Story
StappaMondo was born in the Marche region, among vineyards, rolling hills, and authentic villages that preserve centuries-old stories.
From this land of wine and traditions, we have developed a vision of food, wine, and cultural travel design grounded in slowness, authenticity, and the quality of the experience.
From Italy to Europe, we guide travellers in discovering the most authentic territories — places where time is measured in emotions and travel becomes a story to be lived and remembered.
Over the years, we have built a trusted network of relationships with historic wineries, small producers, identity-driven restaurants, boutique hotels, and cultural operators who share our vision of sustainable and conscious tourism.

But journeys to be remembered.
Travel Design, the StappaMondo Way
Travel Design, the StappaMondo Way
StappaMondo is not a traditional travel agency.
It is a Travel Design studio.
The world is full of pre-packaged trips.
But only a truly tailor-made journey can respect your time, your passions, and your way of travelling.
Every journey we create is a bespoke project, not a standard package:
a balance between dreams and details, research and sensitivity, rhythm and depth.
We design food, wine, and cultural itineraries in the Marche, throughout Italy, and across Europe, working exclusively with partners selected for their quality, hospitality, and reliability.
Our journeys are created for travellers seeking authentic experiences, far from mass tourism and copy-and-paste offers.
A StappaMondo journey does not begin with a pre-filled form, but with a shared design process.
Travel Design is a practice of listening, planning, and attention to detail — created to guide you clearly through every phase of the journey,
without stress and without improvisation.
Every choice — from travel pace to accommodations, from experiences to tastings — is meaningful within the context in which it is lived.

Our Travel Design Method
Our Travel Design Method
From Listening to Tailor-Made Design
From Listening to Tailor-Made Design
Every StappaMondo journey begins with listening. We start with people: their interests,
their relationship with wine and food, their idea of beauty and discovery.
From there, we design itineraries that naturally balance culture, taste, and landscape,
creating a coherent and meaningful travel experience.
Our method is built on:
Personalised consultation and attentive listening
Direct selection of local partners
Narrative-driven itinerary design
Balance between curated experiences, free time, and relaxation
Operational coordination and on-trip assistance
Nothing is improvised. Nothing is standardised.
Every journey is designed like a tailored garment — and each traveller has their own fit.

Matteo Spadola
Travel Designer & Founder
I’m Matteo Spadola, Travel Designer and founder of StappaMondo.
My story begins in the Marche region, among rolling hills, historic villages, and family stories deeply connected to wine and hospitality.
It is here that I learned the value of slow, conscious, and respectful travel, rooted in authentic relationships and time dedicated to discovery.
Over the years, I have combined education, hands-on experience,
and collaborations with wineries, producers, chefs, guides, and charming accommodations, developing a travel design method
that always begins with listening.
I design itineraries conceived as a true direction of experiences: guided tastings in historic wineries, encounters with artisans and producers,
walks through villages, cultural visits, and moments of quiet —
all carefully orchestrated to resonate with each territory.
For me, travel is not about collecting passport stamps.
It is about weaving stories, flavours, and human connections
that endure over time.
