(15)

Mama Margaret doesn't just offer cooking school and wine tours all over Italy to Italian food and wine lovers. We deliver authentic, private, insider food and wine experiences, so you get to know warm, fun local Italians--cooks in their homes, chefs in their restaurants, wine makers, truffle hunters, cheese & olive oil makers. People you'd never meet otherwise, often in off the track places you'd

never find on your own. You taste real Italian life with new Italian friends in rich, unique experiences! You learn a lot about Italian food, wine and life and leave with memories you'll treasure forever. Magical things happen as your family/friends cook together with locals in Italy. You re-connect and deepen your bonds with your spouse, parents, kids or friends and with yourself. We've seen it many times. We also plan and book your whole Italy vacation so you save time and stress, knowing you're working with Italy travel experts. And you have a more fun, stimulating vacation too! Mama Margaret Italy Cooking School Tours is a division of Land of the Gods Voyages in Vancouver, BC, Canada. IATA #61791100.

This post marks the end of the Mama Margaret era! After 15+ years of writing my newsletter and putting its articles and recipes on my website, I’m semi-retiring so no more FB posts, blog posts or newsletters. After Feb 20, I'm not accepting any new Italy travel requests. I thank all of you for your encouragement & participation! Buon viaggi in Italia!
