Italy al Fresco

 

 

Italian cuisine is a miracle of simplicity. The Italian kitchen relies on time honored recipes that highlight the purity, integrity, and bounty of local ingredients. Eating is one of the great pleasures that await the visitor to Italy –it’s hard to find a bad meal!

Before food arrives at the table, a lot of interesting things have transpired and for gastronomes and oenophiles, it’s fun to discover the whys and wherefores of Italy’s esteemed culinary tradition. Hunt for truffles with a local hunter and his dogs, visit a local cheese maker, join in the grape harvest, watch olives being pressed into oil – we will introduce you to the local practitioners who keep the culinary standards so high.

If you’re interested in cooking, we offer a variety of classes throughout the country with local cooks in farmhouses, professional kitchens or cooking schools.

Italian wine is coming into its own as a national treasure. Discover the best varieties of a region at private vineyards or enoteca tastings with professional sommeliers.
