Food &Wine Vacations specializes in culinary vacations and wine-Tours. With programs that feature in-depth exploration of a particular region. The concept is touring with a local that will show you the back door to a region.
Here is how a typical day looks like: Picture yourself waking up in a centuries old private estate, eating fresh pastries or local cold cuts. you will spend the morning hours with your local host, exploring medieval village and eat lunch in a local restaurant. Upon return, you will have time to read or relax by the pool before cooking hand in hand with the chef, learning tips for life. Dinner will follow and so is the wine. Every day is different. From mingling in the Piazzas, experiencing market day, visit family owned wineries, and food artisans.
Wouldn't it make you feel great knowing that all logistics are taken care of and all you have to do is show up and enjoy? We design our cooking-vacations and wine-Tours with the vision of hassle-free and cultural immersion that will create lifetime memories.
