Gourmet International Tours

'Gourmet' & 'Culinary' are expressions that can mean anything from a full 'hands on' cooking experience to simply taking in a tour visiting places of general interest, interspersed with the enjoyment of eating regional delicacies and drinking local wines... with the locals!

"Small groups of like minded people travelling around together, off the usual touristy routes, enjoying the exquisite wines and food of the country, coupled with the history and culture of the towns you visit..."
"Search for truffles in the heart of Tuscany?"

"Experience 'Aida' under the starts in a first centry amphitheatre?"
"Revel in the medieval pageantry at a traditional festival of thanks for autumn's bounty..."
