Italian Food and Wine Trips

Italians are both extremely proud and generous when it comes to their much-loved cuisine, and every region produces something different. The Emilia-Romagna region is a foodie heaven. Culinary tours in Bologna can teach you about the origins of Bolognese and its authentic variants. Cheese tours in Parma take you around the home of Parmesan. Foodie tours in Modena, meanwhile, can show you how traditional balsamic vinegar is made.

Tuscany wine tours can take you to gorgeous vineyards to learn about the ancient wine-making process and how the Sangiovese grape has fuelled this region’s most famed export for centuries.

Some UK travellers may wish to explore the gastronomy of other countries such as France and Spain.  Our tasty collection of worldwide food and wine tours is sure to delight your senses!

Italy Foodie Tours for UK Travellers

In Southern Italy, street food tours in Naples are iconic for quirky dishes like fried pizza and fried pasta. For an immersive experience, learn how to make exotic dishes in cooking classes in Sicily, where Italian food is steeped in Greek and Arab influences.

The most refined wines are produced in the north of Italy, and Piedmont is famous for its Barolo and Barbaresco Denominazione di origene Controllata. However, red wine from Calabria in the rural south packs a real punch.
