Private Travel Advisory
Travel Shaped by
Taste and Trust
A boutique advisory for travelers who care how a trip comes together. Wine country, the coast, safari, and wherever else you want to be.
We don't offer packages or itineraries from a catalogue. Each journey begins with a conversation — about what moves you, what you've been longing for, the kind of experience that stays with you long after you return.
I start by asking what you want the week to feel like. The itinerary comes after.
— Anthony
Journeys With a Name
Each has a season and a shape we’ve refined over many bookings. Each is still built privately, for one party, around your dates and your people.
The Long Toast
A milestone marked the way it deserves — days built around your people, ending at one table we spend months arranging.
The Harvest Table
One week inside Burgundy’s harvest, lived at the pace of the people who bring it in.
From $30,000 per couple, before flights
Salt & Stone
A private-villa week on the Amalfi Coast where the days are decided by appetite and tide, not by an itinerary.
How We Curate
Access.
The winemakers, hoteliers, guides, and camp managers we rely on don’t advertise and don’t work with the public. These are introductions, not reservations, built in person over years of trust.
Discernment.
Not every celebrated property deserves your time. We know which famous kitchen is coasting on its reputation, which lodge has quietly lost its best guides, and which unmarked trattoria will become the story you tell for years.
Precision.
The difference between a good trip and one you never stop describing lives in the details nobody thinks to ask for: the room that catches morning light, the cellar visit timed before the crowds, the driver who knows when silence is better company.
A Boutique Advisory, Built to Travel Well
Velluto is led by founder Anthony Clemenza, a sommelier and former attorney, and works with a hand-picked network of destination specialists, private guides, and on-the-ground partners in every region we serve. We take on a deliberately small number of journeys each year so that every one of them has our full attention, from the first conversation to the day you land home.
