Highlights
-
Savor Italy Tours - As the name of the tour suggests, on this tour, we are going to eat, then drink, then repeat that a quite a few times.
Amongst a few glasses of wine and food, you will also hear stories and legends about the wine, the food, and last but not least, some highlight histories in the area. One of the wines we will be trying on this tour will be Prosecco, a freshly fragant white wine, and most of the time, sparkling, but there are more to the Prosecco than just the sparkles or the sparkling kind. During this tour, you will learn what kind of Prosecco you can use for one occasion or another.
You will enjoy some Amarone and learn why its complex flavor makes the favorite list of many locals.
From fragrant and crisp white to hearty red, this tour covers them all with food that best paired with it.

One of the Best Tours We Did in Italy! - One of our favorite tours we did the whole time we were in Italy (and we did a lot of tours). Sara is an incredible guide. She's very funny and taught us so much about real Italian cuisine. Most of the places on the food tour we ended up going back to because we loved them so much. It's easy to get tricked into going to tourist traps in Italy. Even if you're reading a ton of reviews (like me), you're getting the, oftentimes, American perspective, which is going to be different than those of true Italians. I can't recommend this tour enough. It's so worth it!

Incredibly immersive, education, and EXTREMELY tasty excursion! - Sara (no H) was phenomenal! Her knowlede, kindness, and abilty to unify a group of strangers over wine, walking casually the evening streets, and eating AMAZING food was unmatched by any tour we have ever taken. She has a true gift to immerse you into the culture of an amazingly gorgeous place was so good. My partner, his mother, and his nephew still cannot stop talking about Sara and how quality this tour is. Worth every cent- will most detinitely do it again and refer others.

Fantastic Tour. - Anna, the tour guide we had, is great, we have had the pleasure of going on this tour several times and having Anna every time. She is fun and knows her stuff. She picks the best foods to pair with the wines. Every time we take this tour, she takes us to different places for the wines. We would highly recommend this tour.
