Your luxury accommodations and private tours immerse you into the Italian culture with comfort and ease, bringing the specificity of regional dishes to the forefront and highlighting the surprising simplicity of Italian dishes. Experience the combination of rich history, preserved tastes, and sensational wines for a comprehensive tour of supporting the greater culture of Italy.

Your captivating culinary tour of Italy begins with your arrival in Rome where your private transfer greets you at Fiumicino Airport. Four nights in the Eternal City bring the unique gastronomic history of the different neighborhoods to the forefront as you partake in fantastic guided food tours and private cooking classes that balance the engaging history of a dish with soothing samples. Learn how to prepare a masterful three-course meal that features a customary Roman pasta and wander the galleries of Vatican Museums. Explore the open-air museum of Rome’s historic city center and bite into a selection of pastries, cakes, pies, and gelatos for a better understanding of the popular desserts of the city.

Travel by private transfer to Sorrento where you will stay for three nights. The elegant town that overlooks the Bay of Naples will become a gateway into the flavors and ancient history of Southern Italy with dynamic private tours that will lead your family through the unearthed streets of Pompeii and into the fruit orchards of private family farms.

Your final leg of the journey will bring you to Positano for four nights. The charming town on the Amalfi Coast will become your home, offering easy access to the neighboring towns of the celebrated coastline. Discover the elegant ambiance and ancient history that rises out of the hillside, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, and taste how the wine that is produced on the terraces of the Amalfi Coast differs from that made on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. You will also enjoy crafting your own handmade Neapolitan pizza.
