About us 👫:
We’re Sam and Chris, a wife-and-husband duo who traded our RV life in the U.S. for a new adventure as American expats in Italy. 🌍 🇮🇹
In 2018, we launched our blog, Boozing Abroad, to help travelers find the best local bars, breweries, wineries, and distilleries while exploring new places.
In 2023, we documented our cross-country road trip from Phoenix to Alaska (and back to Virginia!) on this channel.
But in 2024, we started a new chapter as expats living in Italy, diving into Italian culture, everyday life abroad, and the joys (and challenges) of moving to Italy as Americans.
Join us as we explore Italy, uncover hidden gems, and share tips for living abroad, and more. Whether you’re curious about expat life in Italy or looking for travel inspiration, we’re here to share our world with you!

Have you visited any wine festivals in Italy before? We're curious how this one compares to other ones you’ve experienced! Let us know below.
Hi guys, if you like wine festivals with a lot of champagne, the Merano wine festival is perfect, check their site for the 2025 program. Merano itself is the gem of dolomites with their spa, wines, marvellous gardens and a special warm climate. Even Prinzessin Elisabeth empress of Austria and Hungary spent some time in Merans palace Trauttsmandorf
Sul territorio italiano , nel corso dell'anno , si svolgono diversi eventi legati al vino . Basta cercare nei motori di ricerca internet . Ad esempio Vinitaly .
Fantastico ❤😊🇦🇺
Una domanda per favore ~ I've been looking at vineyards to visit or wine tours to do (Abruzzo, I'll be there in May/June) and most say a minimum of 2 people. As a single person this is proving difficult. Have you noticed this?
We really are enjoying your Italy series. I took the WSET level 2 course and that was the first time I spit while tasting, mostly because we were tasting 25 wines and I was at work.
😅👍
So that means I have to organize a champagne night?
Ok, ok, will do.
