Food & Wine Tours Italy

I fell in love with the Italian way of life many years ago, and my passion for it has grown with each subsequent food and wine tour of Italy. I’ve discovered many of its secret corners with local chefs, restaurateurs, producers and winemakers. Now I’d like to share them with you. Ready to be a traveller not a tourist?

“The people of Emilia-Romagna eat more, care more and talk more about food than anyone else in Italy,” says food writer Claudia Roden. On this northern Italian food & wine tour we'll explore the home of Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena and discover many other smallgoods, cheeses, pastas, and baked goods rarely seen outside the region.

Trattoria al Gatto Nero da Ruggeri sign on Burano - Venice Food & Wine Tour

Venice 2026

Venice is a beautiful old girl, but in her senior years she can be a touch contrary until you get to know her. On this food and wine tour of Venice we'll learn a few of her secrets – such as which tiny calli to wander down to find the best bacari and settle in for some cicchetti and un’ombra. We'll skip the places packed with camera-toting day trippers and live like Venetians.

Ristorante da Ciccio - Spaghetti Vongole Amalfi - Southern Italy (regional guide) - square

Southern Italy 2026

Southern Italy is a land of easy-going hospitality, where fresh natural produce is turned into almost unreasonably tasty dishes! Olive oil, garlic, chilli and wild aromatic herbs blend with the citrus, nuts, honey and dried fruits brought by the Arabs. And the tradition of taking time to enjoy ‘le piccole cose’ (the little things) makes life worth living.

Just back from the most amazing trip to Emilia-Romagna with Roberta. Not only the home of Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano & Balsamic Vinegar, but scenery to die for and more quaint and exciting restaurants and cafés than you ever imagined. And Roberta is just the person to help you discover and enjoy them! Her knowledge of the history of the region and its wonderful cuisine know no bounds and all added to the excitement of the trip. It was faultless - well organized and lots of fun!

My wife and I recently joined Roberta's Emilia-Romagna tour. We enjoyed all the temptations offered and learned a lot about that part of Italy, especially its food and wine culture. What was most impressive was Roberta's local knowledge of people and places. The planning and effort she put into making the whole experience seem effortless was remarkable.
