One Story at a Time

Our Places

The heart of Roots of Wonder journeys is Vasto, a city nestled on the Adriatic Sea and guardian of a millennia-old history.
From here unfolds the unique landscape of the Trabocchi Coast, a stretch of coastline that blends unspoiled nature with ancient traditions: nature reserves, wild beaches, breathtaking views suspended between sea and hills, and the characteristic trabocchi — ancient fishing machines that today tell the story of the maritime culture and host unforgettable gastronomic experiences.

Alongside its natural beauty, the region preserves an extraordinary historical and artistic heritage: Renaissance palaces, medieval churches, museums, and small villages seemingly frozen in time.
Added to this is the rich food and wine culture, made up of authentic flavors and local products — from the brodetto vastese fish stew to ventricina cured meat, from Montepulciano and Pecorino wines to rustic specialties — turning every stop into a complete sensory experience.

But Roots of Wonder doesn’t stop there: our journeys extend beyond Abruzzo’s borders to regions and cities that have long maintained close ties with Vasto.
The Marche, with their cultural routes and gentle landscapes; Molise, guardian of authentic villages and pastoral traditions; Puglia, with the strength of its food and wine and baroque architecture; and also Rome, Naples, and Caserta — destinations that throughout history have woven cultural and political influences with those of the South Adriatic.

Each journey is based on a specific theme: food and wine routes, spiritual pilgrimages, artistic explorations, experiences linked to popular festivals or the great seasons of nature, such as the grape harvest and olive picking.

In this way, the places are not just backdrops, but become protagonists of stories to be lived firsthand — part of a narrative that connects coasts, hills, and art cities in a mosaic of relationships, identities, and wonders.
