Italy's Treasures: Culinary and Wine Tour
Oct 4, 2027 - Oct 17, 2027
Picture a long table in a Tuscan villa, a glass of local wine in hand, and a dinner made from the dishes you prepared yourself that afternoon.
That’s one highlight of Italy’s Treasures: Culinary and Wine Tour, an exclusive CURAC/ARUCC tour running October 4–17, 2027.
Over 14 days from Milan to Rome, you’ll taste your way from Lake Como to Tuscany, with a Prosciutto di Parma production visit, a Parmigiano Reggiano tasting, a full day in Cinque Terre, a boat ride to Portofino, and a stay at a Tuscan villa. A hands-on cooking class with Mamma Paola brings it all together.
