Small Group Food & Wine Tours

I’ve spent a lifetime getting behind-the-scenes of many corners of the world through friends who guide me to money-can’t-buy travel experiences. Ready to become a traveller rather than a tourist? I’d love to show you my favourite corners of Europe & Australia.

Roberta Muir - Food Market - Food and Wine Tours
Ristorante da Ciccio - Spaghetti Vongole Amalfi - Southern Italy Food & Wine Tour

Rome & Sthn Italy 2026

Southern Italians turn simple fresh produce 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. On this small group food and wine tour we'll take time to enjoy ‘le piccole cose’ (the little things), which makes life worth living.

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

Venice/Veneto 2026

On this small group food and wine tour we'll see Venice through the eyes of locals. Learn which tiny calli to wander down to find the best bacari for cicchetti e un’ombra. Then discover Venice in context in the Veneto countryside, where wealthy Venetians had their farms and iconic wines like Valpolicella and Prosecco are produced.

Food and wine tours - Fondue - 3 pieces of bread above the caquelon (fondue pot) - online Swiss cooking class - Romainmôtier Food Tour

Switzerland 2026

Switzerland is a bucket list experience, yet impossible to discover without insider help. I'm an accredited Swiss Travel Expert and – thanks to my Swiss husband, family and friends – know it as few outsiders can. On this small group food & wine tour, I'll show you the corners of Switzerland the tourists never find.

Italian Food Markets - Quadrilatero Bologna

Northern Italy 2026

Emilia-Romagna is called Italy’s Food Valley for its abundance of world-class produce. And we'll discover it on this small group food and wine tour, from renowned Parmigiano Reggiano and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale to lesser-known regional specialties and wonderful Adriatic seafood – not to mention the regional wines!

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!

Wow, what a tour – I learned so much! Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's recipe kits – the family are reaping the benefits now. If you're thinking of joining Roberta in future years get ready for an amazing experience.

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.

Our tour with Roberta through Emilia-Romagna was the highlight of the year. Good company, gorgeous palazzi and great food. What more could one ask for? Roberta's enthusiasm and knowledge made this a once in a lifetime experience through an extraordinary, diverse and very special region.
