Lunch among the vines
A private vineyard visit and tasting, from Chianti to Mount Etna.
Private access to the places, people and moments outside the tourist circuit.
VALO creates bespoke journeys and private experiences in Italy, Scandinavia and several other European countries. Through our local connections, we take you into places that rarely open to visitors: a family vineyard, a historic private estate, dinner in a private home or a craftsman’s workshop.
VALO is Finnish for light. We help you see a place through a different lens.
Tailor-made travel experiences built on trusted local relationships, from the Tuscan hills to the Finnish archipelago.
Family estates and vineyards, craftsmen’s workshops, historic homes and tables that are not open to the public.
Artisans, producers and families who carry living traditions.
Fewer places, more presence. Time to be somewhere, fully.
From couples to groups of twenty. You live the journey; we take care of everything else.
Who is travelling, what moves you, the pace you enjoy. From there we draw a first itinerary with a few directions to choose from, and shape it with you until it feels like your own journey.
Places to stay, transfers, restaurants and guides are all arranged by us. Around your interests we create the private moments that make the trip: a cellar opened for you, a dinner in a family home, a private guided walk through a city.
Before you leave, a personal travel journal with every detail, address and insider note. During the trip, one message away if plans change. And when you are home, we want to hear how it went.

A private vineyard visit and tasting, from Chianti to Mount Etna.
A private visit of a historic castle, then an aperitivo at the top of its tower.
A summer cottage of your own, a wood-fired sauna, and a sun that refuses to set.
Husky trails, snow-laden forests and the soft blue light of the Arctic winter.
“A magical moment, where time seemed to stand still.”
We choose places for their depth rather than their fame, from the southern warmth of Sicily to the northern light of Lapland.
The Italy we know from the inside: family estates, working ateliers and tables far from the tourist trail.
A journey for every season: island summers and endless light in the Finnish archipelago, snow, silence and northern lights in Lapland. Scandinavia away from the usual trails, always shaped around you.
On request. Wherever our network of trusted hosts reaches, we curate with the same care.

With Italian and Finnish roots, and a career in tech and international business between Paris, Brussels and several African countries, Priscilla Queirolo founded VALO to curate travel that is intimate, elegant and deeply human.
A personal vision of travel, built on trust, depth and the art of being truly present in a place.
