From breathtaking sightseeing to hands on cooking classes, special events, visits with local experts, and more, this trip is custom designed with The Mediterranean Dish Community in mind.

We’ll begin our journey together in the rolling hills of Chianti, where a warm welcome awaits at the beautiful Tuscan retreat of Villa il Poggiale. From there, we’ll wander through the lush countryside of Umbria, where the centuries-old olive groves of Centumbrie and the peaceful shores of Lake Trasimeno create the perfect backdrop for slowing down and savoring every moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will learn about the magic of saffron, get hands-on making torta al testo, taste the most exquisite olive oils, and relax at the serene il Cantico della Natura resort—right in the heart of Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our adventure continues to Orvieto and Città della Pieve, two charming towns where lively markets, artisanal cheesemakers, and local farms will introduce us to the freshest flavors of the region. And then, we’ll wrap up our trip in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, where Tuscan culinary traditions truly come to life. Here, we’ll explore vibrant markets and roll up our sleeves for a fun, hands-on cooking class.

Along the way, we’ll gather around tables at cozy trattorias and osterias, enjoying seasonal dishes made with love and local ingredients. And by the end of our journey, you’ll return home refreshed and inspired—with new recipes to add to your Mediterranean kitchen, and a heart full of warm memories of shared meals, laughter, and meaningful moments spent with new friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
