Approaching the gastronomic delights local guides can help you to appreciate entirely in a new light Italy.
We all hope you will consider a “gourmet tour” visiting not only the most famous cities and resorts but getting in touch with genuine tradition and famous specialities. A unique opportunity to know and taste genuine products, which come from the hard work of local people and old tradition combined with modern technology.
Our experience as guides and tour escorst, the love of good food, the desire to experiment with classical and innovative cooking recipes, the pleasure to accompany a good wine for every occasion, allowed the local guides to select top farms and food-producers in all Italy. On a tour, next to cities, famous places and artistic treasures, you can discover specialties that tie the convivial moments, traditions and secrets handed down by generations.
