An Extraordinary Day Trip
Immerse yourself in Italy’s distinctive culinary tradition with experiences led by true local insiders — solid reputation built in 50 years in Italy, over a decade of welcoming only discerning travelers like you.
We’ve noticed a growing gap: While Italy is overflowing with cooking classes and wine tours, few offer the genuine, nuanced, and meaningful experience that embodies our true culture. We're not here for the ‘hit-and-run’ tourist trend—we're here for those who seek authenticity, genuine connection, and a taste of Italy that lingers long after the trip ends.
Imagine falling in love with a country, its generous lifestyle…Vita Italiana!
