Each of our unique Travel Plans is a celebration of Italian food and wine. We share our inside-out knowledge of cuisine in every one of Italy’s 20 regions. Clients have access to our private archive of detailed information on restaurants, markets, food stores, wine shops, coffee bars, ice cream shops, pastry shops, cheese stores, bakeries, and so on. Marjorie Shaw was one of the earliest American supporters of the Slow Food movement. Insider’s Italy travelers discover indigenous foods in each area that they visit. Half-day cooking classes in Tuscany and Campania are an option. Instructors are gifted teachers who host classes in their gardens and kitchens. Be sure that your waiter brings you the Italian menu and not just the English one. Nearly all Italian menus are constructed daily and include specialties and seasonal dishes, while the English edition rarely makes mention of the day's specials.
