Italian Sensory Experience’s creator, Abruzzo expert, sommelier,
Antonio Iuliano and I will lead the "Grape and Truffle Harvest Cuisine and Culture Tour" which will leave you captivated by
the tastes, sights, textures, sounds, and aromas of central Italy. One of the highlights of this trip includes staying in the De Luca Winery and Agriturismo, where we will experience the annual grape and truffle harvests!
Guided tastings and pairings of the region’s world-class
wines will be led by owner/winemaker Dr. Luciano De Luca. The Heart of Italy
tour also features hands-on cooking classes and workshops highlighting local
specialties such as pasta alla chittara and
polpette cacio e uova as well as
guided tastings of the region’s most famous olive oils, liqueurs, torrone, candy, honey, and pastries.
Travelers on this
tour will witness how the reverie that the local land, sea, and UNESCO heritage
sites evoke influenced the work of Gabriele D’Annunzio, one of Italy’s most
prominent writers and poets. Culture buffs will enjoy viewing the traditional
mosaics, the visit to Abruzzo’s iconic medieval
castle in Roccascalegna, as well as a stroll along the idyllic San Giovanni in
Venere Abbey.
Gourmands and history-lovers of all stripes will love the enchanting town of Sulmona - known for its confections - and home to the famous ancient Roman poet, Ovid. Our journey concludes with a day and evening
in Rome where I will lead a tour of the city’s notable food culture.
Join us in this unparalleled opportunity to enjoy, learn, and appreciate
Italian cuisine and culture from the heart of Italy! The tour is limited to 12 participants.
