Wine and Culinary Tours

 

As wine and food lovers, we plan, organize and lead culinary and wine tours that are informal, fun and, most of all, educational! Always guided by a professional Sommelier.

Tours include all accommodations, land transportation, two meals per day (breakfast plus lunch or dinner), VIP visits to wineries and tastings, cooking classes, seminars and much more. Tours do not include airplane travel so participants are at their leisure to decide what to do before and after the meeting and drop off points of the tours.

To: Il Maestro Antonio

Thank you for giving us the tour of a lifetime. We can't think of a better way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
Grazie,

Charles and Grace (=Carlo e Graziella!)

Dear Antonio,
I would like to thank you for a wonderful tour of Tuscany and Piemonte. I had a super time and felt so lucky that all my fellow travellers were such interesting people.
I am now regaling all my friends with stories of great food and wine and the joy of Italy.
Many thanks.
Sincerely,
Kelda

Pierre and I returned from Florence last night.  We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will keep many fond memories forever.  Thank you for being a very gracious, generous and flexible guide.  You ensured that we got the maximum out of our trip and we truly appreciated your presence and your willingness to modify arrangements to suit our interests and needs.  We look forward to seeing you and the group again in the future.  Mille grazie!
Diane Lepage

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. It was the people we met along the way and those we travelled with that have built the memories that will last for me. That and those extra pounds from all that food you made us eat!!!! And of course the wine!!!! But truly the people along the way and the 'maestro' of the trip.
Patricia Petty

It was a great trip for me and full of good memories to last. I'd be happy to recommend the tour to anyone in future. I was afraid I'd be charged for 2 seats on the way back- I ate so much!! (drank enough wine also)
Rosemary O'Brian

It's a bit hard getting back into a normal life here in Canada. No hectares upon hactares of vines, no multi course gourmet meals, no river flowing with wine at each meal.  But the memories of our Italian adventure will hopefully stick for a long time to come. We were indeed lucky to have such a wonderful and generous guide for our tour.  Words cannot express fully my appreciation to you Antonio for this magical adventure. And I must say, it helped to be with such a congenial group of wine lovers.
Joanne Hamel

Antonio, thank you so much for showing us so many magical areas of Italy. It was the best trip that I have ever taken, thanks to you.
Heather Lockwood

We've been back almost a week and I'm still missing Italy. Seems I'm in food withdrawal. Made beef in Barolo on the weekend (well in a less expensive Barbaresco), still have arugula, radicchio and parmesan in the fridge and I felt the need to buy artichokes today when I saw them. I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I don't think we could have spent time with a better group of people and the tour guide was definitely one of a kind. Thank you Antonio for giving us so many great memories.
