Taste of Italy

Creating cultural connections through food Ascend to a hilltop cathedral to hear antiquity come to life and listen to Gregorian chanting by Olivetan monks.

A Taste of Italy is more than a culinary tour, it is a carefully chosen palette of unique experiences with local culture. Learn how to make a favorite Florentine pasta dish; papardelle with wild boar ragu, then enjoy it with new friends at the chef’s table. Cross over the Arno River through the secret Vasari corridor used by the Medici family. Travel into the hills to hunt the highly prized white

truffles. Following the hunt, taste their unusual and delicate flavor prepared in a rustic country feast at the truffle hunters home. Make savory wild fennel salami with the village butcher. Enter into the private castle cellar of the cheese maker to see how he makes pecorino aged in walnut leaves. Learn why there is been no salt in Tuscan bread since the 12th century. If this stirs your palate and your imagination, this is the trip for you. We invite you to join us on this walking and tasting tour to enjoy particular flavors and discover how the artisans make them taste so good. Taste of Italy offers a unique experience of Tuscany by providing a distinct blend of visual, cultural, and culinary arts found off the beaten path. Walking excursions will take you back in time, meandering tucked away cobblestone passageways in the heart of the Renaissance as well as excursions to the Tuscan countryside. Part of our gastronomic adventure means taking you to meet the artigiani and their edible craft: the vintner, olive oil craftsman, chef, truffle hunter, cheese maker, and butcher. Each artisan has been sought out not only for their specialized techniques, but for their knowledge and dynamic personalities, so you get a true understanding of the warmth of Italian people. All of your senses will be enriched as you taste unusual flavors, travel back in time, inhale new aromas, hear ancient sounds, and walk the antique routes of the people of a different place and time. Come experience Tuscany with us.

Torta all’olio di oliva (extra virgin of course !) The better quality the olive oil, the better the cake. A bit sad to know these are the last blood 🍊’s of the season, but ready for spring
