Food and Wine Tours in Italy made for you

Enjoy delicious food and wine tours in Italy, handpicked for you by experts

Bespoke Italy food and wine tours, showcasing regional specialities and culinary traditions

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic weekend away or an Italian grand tour, our expert team can help you plan a trip that includes rich cultural experiences alongside irresistible Italian food and wine. On your journey through Italy you could sample the best burrata in Puglia, compare pizza in Rome and Naples, hunt for truffles in Tuscany or discover the finest vineyards in Piedmont  (and their exclusive estate restaurants).

Geography, history and culture shape what appears on Italian plates. Each region has its own speciality, but you will always find fresh, locally sourced ingredients, lovingly prepared. Our expert guides will take you to family-run producers, markets that overflow with ripe tomatoes and plump olives, and wineries producing award-winning Chianti, Barolo, pinot grigio and moscato (to name a few). You’ll also enjoy morning strolls through city squares to stop for an espresso, or evening explorations to seek out hidden gelato shops for rich, creamy ice cream.

Finally, discover the secrets of the Italian kitchen with hands-on experiences creating much-loved Italian cuisine with the country’s best chefs. We will handpick your perfect cookery class, whether that’s making bread in Altamura, pizza in Rome, pasta in Bologna or gelato in Florence. And we can also recommend our favourite places to eat in Italy – in Venice, that might be a typical Venetian bacaro or a Michelin-starred restaurant on an island in the Venetian Lagoon.

Your travel designer will plan you a one-of-a-kind trip in Italy, taking care that every private transfer is seamless, and each experience perfectly matches your tastes and preferences.

A word from one of our experts

When Italians share their food traditions, they're sharing their identity. The pride in these encounters is palpable – genuine cultural heritage being passed along to visitors. It’s these interactions that will be the highlight of your Italian journey.
