Details

So much more than pizza, pasta and gelato, Italy’s foodie credentials are hard to beat. This delectable adventure delves into the most celebrated gastronomy region in the country, Emilia-Romagna, where we discover the origins of culatello ham, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar, among other delights. We hit Bologna (named the World Capital of Food by Condé Nast Traveller in 2022) and head to lesser-known spots including the picturesque hilltop town of Brisighella. A train ride through rolling hills takes us to Florence, the beating heart of Tuscany, where our adventure culminates.

Highlights

  • Visit producers of culatello ham, Parmesan cheese, Modena balsamic vinegar and olive oil
  • Join a cooking class led by a local chef to make a traditional Bolognese menu
  • Discover Brisighella, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy
  • Take a train through rolling hills to Florence

On this trip, there will be many opportunities to taste local specialties, in particular during the produce and wine tastings, cooking class and the traditional lunches and dinners included in the itinerary.
