Sampling authentic Italian cuisine is high on the to-do list on an Italian vacation. However, with an abundance of dining options, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. Instead, try experiencing Italy’s best on a culinary tour.

 

If you’re interested in flexibility with your time in Italy, Eating Italy offers tours in Rome and a recently launched Florence tour. All tours are 3.5–four hours and include six–12 tastings, varying by tour. The English-speaking tour guide takes guests to off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods within Rome, Venice and Florence, ensuring an authentic experience. Eat in Italy explores unique foodie destinations in Naples. Opt to take a pizza class or an extensive tour through hidden neighborhood gems. Times and prices vary.

 

For a trip all about the food, book an excursion with Epitourean. Select one of the extended itineraries in locations throughout the country including Sardinia, Sorrento, Positano and others. Tours include cooking classes, indulgent meals and wine tastings. Cooking Vacations’ tours explore 20 different regions within Italy. Depending on your preference, take a one-day tour or up to an eight-day tour; experience hands-on cooking classes, visit a food market or go on a walking tour.

 

Prices vary seasonally and by tour. Be sure to do research before you book the best tour for your needs.
