As one of the world’s most iconic and loved cuisines, Italian food has been strongly influenced and shaped by history and tradition as well as the excellent quality of local produce available throughout the country. Recipes are often passed down from generation to generation where specialties and delicacies vary from region to region. Embark on a 10-day gastronomic journey through the Italian regions of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna where you will enjoy a number of culinary activities including private cookery classes, wine and food tastings, truffle hunting, cocktail mixology and dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Begin in the Langhe wine region famous for its Barolo, Barbera and Moscato vineyards.
