T
his 22nd anniversary of the Italy tour features exciting new venues.
The eight-day culinary extravaganza will begin in Milan with three events. The following day, we are off for a seven-day adventure in Alba and the surrounding area, featuring twenty-three unique events.
The Tour features some of the best restaurants, wineries, and producers of culinary products.
Being at the home of the world’s best certified white truffles (Tartufi Bianchi), along with superb wines, is a full immersion into Piemonte culture during their celebration of the white truffle season. I choose dishes unique to the region and their ingredients. Cuisine that you will not experience as a tourist or on any other tour.
Alba, where streets are abuzz with people and shops exhibiting their culinary offerings on beautifully displayed tables – golden yellow pasta, colorful condiments of every variety, fresh white truffles piled neatly under sparkling glass domes, and wines from producers unknown in the new world. A beautiful villa awaits you, where your relaxing stay at their beautiful Agricole property provides a memorable Italian experience in a breathtaking atmosphere just one kilometer from Alba!
We present three events daily: a winery or culinary production facility tour and unique luncheons followed by dinner at many of Piemonte’s best restaurants. Each dish allows you to enjoy the unique signature of each outstanding Chef. You will encounter a brilliant adventure and become acquainted with Italian cuisine in a manner you have never experienced before.
Being at the heart of the great vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco, you will enjoy over 100 different wines. Also, we will present varietals from the area that many of you have yet to experience from producers that do not export to the U.S. Quintessential to this region are the various vineyards known for their identifiable characteristics. Accompanied by century-old winemaking techniques, a generation of winemakers create some of the world’s greatest wines.
The Tour is not a business but a part of our branch activities and my hobby. The Tour includes all lodging, events, meals, wines, and local transportation (transportation provided to all locations from Friday, November 1, to your return to Malpensa airport on Saturday morning, November 9, 2024).
The price of the Tour is $6,250 per person. For those arriving in Milan early, we can secure your hotel reservation at a discounted rate. For additional details, please do not hesitate to contact us. In addition, you may best reach me via my cell at 415.250.4240.
We hope that you will consider joining us for yet another remarkable adventure.
