We learned so much about Italy and the generations of families who manage farms and vineyards to produce the most amazing balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese and prosciutto. We started this day-long tour from Florence. Be prepared for a lot of driving, and possible traffic! Besides that, I highly recommend this tour for any foodie!”

“This mozarella making class was so much fun! Jess is very knowledgeable about cheese making techniques and explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand as we prepared and shaped our mozarella cheeses. And you get a tasty snack after you are done making your cheese (and some delicious local wines paired with everything). My husband and I are so glad we decided to go on this tour, and would recommend it to anyone who loves cheese and loves to cook!”
