Please note: the itinerary is subject to change, based on the artisans’ availability and weather. This tour doesn’t run on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and some banks holidays. My goal is to make your experience as friendly and authentic as possible. We go from place to place to shop samples of the food along the way as I’m used to do for my own or with my friends. Your guide will buy the food & wine at each stop and give you more details, telling you about the history or the legends of the product and the city. We will be able to eat and share recipes just as a local would do!
