Italy’s Art, Food and Wine Tour

March 29 – April 09, 2025

Come on an exclusive adventure with me limited to 24 travelers!  I travel all over Italy bringing Coco’s guests on tours several times a year and this is one of my favorites because, on this trip, the romantic part of Italy comes to life. This tour will tickle all of the senses: your eyes, ears, nose and taste buds. Another great reason to chose this trip is that it is harvest time in Italy, plenty of foods are at their peak freshness. The vineyards will be bustling with production, a site you can only see this time of year with a special focus on visits to an artisan salumi producer and maker of Parmigiano-Reggiano where you can taste cheeses aged from 16 to 65 months. My mouth is watering as I write this, because it really is a seasonal treat and I can’t wait for you to partake in this with me.  During our free time I will guide or join you on my top picks for restaurants, suggestions for ordering foods and favorite cocktails.  You will love every moment of this very special tour and you will find out why so many people want to move to Italy when you are done with this this romantic, culinary and cultural adventure.

Tuscany & Umbria Countryside

April 7-17, 2026

This is the Italy you always imagined and heard of. With immense historical, cultural and artistic heritage you will be awed as you stroll within the fortified towns of castles and towers. Be amazed by the expressive churches and expansive cathedral domes. And find unique shopping down side streets that open up to breathtaking landscapes. With my repeated travel to this area I think that several days in Umbria would be a preferred experience for you. It has all the charm, beauty and deliciousness of Tuscany, but far fewer tourists. All of the towns you will visit: Orvieto, Spoleto, Assisi, Montefalco and Perugia are totally unique and photogenic, with charming local shops and their own regional food traditions. And within these walled towns of ruins and legends is great cuisine and cooking traditions that date back thousands of years. Imagine plate after plate of fresh foods, cured meats, giant mounds of fresh ricotta as well as world famous wines. It’s always a good time for a great glass of wine. This is a great tour for first-time travelers to Italy, with so many sites that you’ve seen in the movies and travel posters you will love this area of Italy. Plus I will be with you too to and ensure you will have a dream vacation.
