• Me....

    Italian Sommelier and Wine Master, Marco Lori was born to work with wine. Literally. Having first harvested grapes at the tender age of six on his father’s small plot of land near the Castelli Romani, Marco has lived his life connected to the vine

  • The Beginnings...

    While Marco enjoyed drinking his family’s yearly vintage, he became curious at an early age and wanted to investigate better wines. Hungry (or thirsty) for this knowledge, Marco’s first sommelier training in 1992 sparked his passion for wine and set in to motion years of study that recently earned Lori “Italian Executive Wine Master” status recognized worldwide….

  • My Passion......

    After studying Agriculture (in high school) and Sociology (in University) and having worked for over 25 years in IT sales, Marco’s vast life experience coupled with his exciting working knowledge of vino has all led up to the creation of “Off the Vine.”

  • Off The Vine

    Marco Lori has now created “Off the Vine,” an exciting new venture in gastro-tourism created to cultivate an appreciation and excitement for the world of wine.

    Marco Lori currently writes freelance for Bibenda Magazine, Bibenda 7, Eating Italy Food Blog, The American Magazine and (HAMPTONS LANE) he is currently available for custom tailored wine tours, tastings and consulting.
