Tours

We strive to offer a variety of tours that appeal to the needs of all of our groups: high school and student chefs, adults and professional food service managers and chefs. You may have your own idea for a group tour for your students, associates and customers. If so, just contact us and we will work on that concept and turn it into reality for you. Our tour components include hands-on cooking classes with local chef instructors; professional tastings of ingredients like cheeses, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, wine or mushrooms; regional touring including visits to organic farms and open markets; and of course sightseeing, shopping and personal time for relaxation and to pursue personal interests. Depending on the length of the itinerary and the airfare, our tour packages per person begin about $2,600 to $3,800 USD. We also build in a free trip for your group leader.
