andiamotrips - campania, italy with karen phillips

  I recently had the opportunity to visit Alois Winery  , a family winery located in the Caserta province.   This winery, located in Pontelatone, not far from the Caserta palace, has been around for over 30 years.  It is a winery that focuses on the production of three grape varieties tied to the territory- Pallagrello Bianco (white ), Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia (red).   The drive from my house to the winery takes about 50 minutes or so.   On my way there, I realized that I hadn’t been in 8 years.   8!   Wow.   Did I remember the way?   Maybe better to use Google Maps.   I arrived without problems. The harvest was just over, but no problem.   I decided to visit the vineyards another time.   My eyes were attracted to the bottles.   A certain set of bottles in particular.   Their Crus-their wines produced from particular vineyards.   Trebulanum® Casavecchia di Pontelatone DOC – Casavecchia Morro...

  The Dream Over the past 14 years, I have travelled the Campania region visiting over  100 of the region's   restaurants .  I have enjoyed sharing my gastronomic  adventures on my blog, Andiamotrips, as well as on various social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.  My focus has always been to share through words, photos and videos to  those, like me, who  want to discover the traditions, stories, and recipes of this vast and varied region.  Over the years, I realized that one of the best ways to learn about Campanian cuisine was to observe those who have made it their profession.  To visit those who work day to day  in the kitchen . I have often dreamt about how I could share this passion of mine with the world.  How it might be exciting to go one step further, go that extra mile.  Now I strongly believe that I am ready to take that dream to a new level by creating a video travel diary documentary series ...

  Your journey in life changes you.   Your passions eventually become your professional projects expressing your talent and dreams. So, after more than 14 years of storytelling on my blog Andiamotrips I have chosen to start a new professional chapter and to create, in first person, a digital documentary series that explores the cuisine of Italy’s Campania region.   The project will be launched in preview with a crowdfunding campaign on the website www.eppela.com at the personalized address www.eppela.com/inthekitchencampania starting from November 9 with which it will be possible to participate and support the development of the project. In the Kitchen Campania is a digital documentary series that explores the cuisine of Campania. I chose to include the phrase in the kitchen because in Campania that is the focal point of the house. A place where friends and family can feel free to discuss just about anything. In this series I will meet with chefs in their kitche...
