  Italy

 7 days 

Guided

Supported

Take this wonderful opportunity to approach the cuisine of this bountiful region the way the locals do - with enthusiasm, with relish - con gusto!

Absorb the special smells of the countryside as you cycle or wander on tiny white roads through fields of sunflowers. Experience the rhythms of the grape harvest, learn the secrets of olive oil and cheese making, and the mysteries of lake fishing and hunting.

Historic walled towns, vibrant countryside, stunning seasonal food and wine, supportive locals. What more could one ask for?

No need to pack up and move on every day - experience life on a small organic farm, learning historic recipes, sampling the produce and sucking up the atmosphere.

Return home revitalised, and not one kilogram heavier!
