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.
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.
