I’m Julie, a French girl from the Loire Valley, inviting travelers to slow down, explore Europe and California in depth, and meet the people behind the scenes - the winemakers, artisans, and storytellers who give each place its soul.

Why Adagio?

There is an Italian proverb that says

"Chi va piano, va sano e lontano!"

"Those who go slowly, go safely and far."

 

In music, Adagio means a slow, graceful tempo - and that is how I believe travel should be: unhurried, mindful, and connected to local rhythms.

 

Adagio is about embracing slowness, savoring meaningful encounters, and traveling in a way that honors people and place.

At Adagio Travels, I design slow journeys that celebrate wine, culture, and sustainability. My focus is on Europe’s hidden regions — from the steep vineyards of the Mosel to the countryside of Italy and France — but I also bring Europeans the chance to discover California’s wine country in a soulful, authentic way.

Our itineraries are crafted with care:

Enjoying farm-to-table dining with artisan chefs
Meeting organic and biodynamic winemakers
Exploring small towns and landscapes off the tourist trail

Julie Bizzarri

Hello! Bonjour! Buongiorno! Guter Tag!

I created Adagio Travels to share a different kind of journey — one that celebrates slowness, sustainability, and soulful connections. Growing up in France’s Loire Valley, I learned early that the best meals — and the best adventures — come from taking your time: long lunches, bustling markets, and vineyards stretching under the sun.


Since then, my love for languages, cultures, and Europe’s hidden corners has taken me far. I’ve lived in Switzerland and the stunning three-country Mosel region — Germany, Luxembourg, and France — and explored Italy, especially my great-grandparents’ homeland of Emilia-Romagna, savoring local flavors and meeting passionate winemakers and artisan chefs along the way.

I speak English, French (my mother tongue), Italian, and German — which fuels my love for gastronomy and connecting with small, dedicated producers. In 2018, I traveled across Europe interviewing biodynamic winemakers, diving into their craft, philosophies, and the stories behind each bottle.


Since 2021, I’ve called California home and worked in Sonoma Valley’s vibrant wine scene. From Europe’s steepest vineyards on the Mosel, through Italy’s incredible diversity of terroirs, to Georgia — the cradle of wine made in the traditional Kvevri — I’ve learned so much that I’m excited to share with curious, mindful travelers.


Adagio Travels is my way of helping you discover not just destinations, but the people, flavors, and stories that make each journey unforgettable.
