Food adventures in Italy

This immersive Italian adventure begins in Venice, where you’ll wander along winding canals and across storied bridges before sipping spritzes and savouring traditional cicchetti in lively bacari. After a breakfast of local pastries and a peek into the city’s bustling markets, you’ll glide down the Grand Canal and take in the timeless charm of La Serenissima. Then it’s off to Bologna – Italy’s culinary heart – for a hands-on pasta-making class and your first taste of rich, regional flavours.
A day trip to Modena reveals the secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano and authentic aged balsamic vinegar, complete with a trattoria lunch paired with a glass of Lambrusco. Then, retreat to the Tuscan hills near San Gimignano, where you’ll stay on a working organic farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Here, you’ll sample local wines, stroll medieval streets, and walk a section of the Via Francigena pilgrimage route.
Finally, the journey ends in Rome. After a guided orientation through the Eternal City’s historic heart, you’ll be welcomed into a local’s home for a plant-based feast and a final taste of Roman hospitality. A perfect finale to a week of unforgettable flavours and landscapes.
