Tour Highlights
Experience a traditional truffle hunt with our guide Brunello and his faithful dogs as they lead us through their carefully cultivated truffle beds (as seen on CNN's "Searching for Italy" with Stanley Tucci!)
Walk the wine cellar of a 7th century castle in Tuscany, before tasting the famous Chianti Classico and enjoying antipasti overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills.
Visit a caseficio (cheesemaker) to see how Parmigiano-Reggiano, the "king of cheeses," is made, from milk to the final aging process.
Visit the famous 8th generation butcher shop of Dario Cecchini, the Butcher of Panzano, and we'll enjoy a "meat feast" of a dinner in his restaurant!
Tour a fifth generation, family-run producer of authentic Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena to see how this famous product is made.
Visit the medieval hilltop town of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis. You'll love visiting the basilica, wandering the streets, and enjoying a fantastic lunch!
