Personalised tours

Italia Gastronomica can also organise tailor-made tours to respond to a traveller’s or agency’s specific requirements. We can offer trips of a longer length than our standard “wine and food” tours from our catalogue, concentrate your trip on a specific area (tour of Sicily, tour of Piedmont,..) or plan your trip throughout all of Italy; accommodation is possible in the main cities or in smaller and lesser-known towns.

We can offer some really special ideas, ad-hoc personalised activities like a gastronomic treasure hunt or the participation in a grape harvest or we can even build your tour in connection with unique events (for example the Mille Miglia race).

The personalisation can concern either the trip itself (one or several-day tours) for individuals or for pre-formed groups.

Here below are some examples of what we can provide:

-practical cookery courses, followed by a lunch/dinner mad from the dishes that were prepared during the lesson
-“blind” wine tasting evenings
-tastings of wine, cheese and other food specialities
-participation in grape or olive harvesting
-trekking in the vineyards alongside the producer
-excursions in the company of a “trifolao” (truffle hunter) to search for truffles
-preparation of your own cheese under the supervision of a cheese maker
-preparation of “black bread” (rye bread), in traditional stone ovens

In addition to the wine&food services, we will list here below a range of personalized services that we can include in tailor-made tours:

-flights in a helicopter or a private jet
-hot-air balloon flights
-tickets for opera and theatrical performances
-the opening of private palaces or galleries
-shopping tours
