Taste the Flavors of Italy
Whether you live to eat or eat to live,
this “foodie” trip from Trafalgar is for
you! Enjoy an in-depth taste of a
nation as you explore the tradition of
Italian cuisine and wine at their origin.
Sample Bolognese in Bologna,
Chianti in Tuscany and Prosciutto in
Parma. Start the day off shopping at
an outdoor farmers market while
gaining a unique insight into Italian
cuisine from Libero, a charismatic
local chef. Hand-select fresh fruits
and vegetables harvested earlier that
morning from the Tuscan soil nearby,
then head over to his Florence
restaurant for a cooking class. He’ll
teach you the art of making
homemade ravioli and assist you in
preparing a luncheon from your fresh
ingredients. Afterward, you’ll dine
and relax in his tranquil garden,
savoring a glass or two of his
homemade wine.
