GET TO KNOW OUR HOSTS

ITALY

Cyntia Braga

She founded Travels & Wines, an office that creates exclusive travel programs, providing unforgettable and transformative experiences. These journeys navigate through history and culture, gastronomy and wine, which will always be the protagonist in all trips organised across the European continent.

Journalist by training, tourism specialist by passion and sommelier by love of wine, Cyntia is passionate about Italy and, before landing in the boot, she pursued her career in the fields of communication and hospitality.

Today, she is a Travel Designer and Sommelier by AIS (Associazione Italiana Sommelier). She has been working with tourism and hospitality since 2011 when she coordinated tourism promotion through press initiatives at Embratur and the Ministry of Tourism in 10 countries across Latin America and Iberian Peninsula.

She immigrated to Europe in 2020, living in 5 countries while managing design hostel operations, and eventually settled in Italy – a country that has always held a special place in her heart.
