Italy is a feast for the senses — and with Executive Global Tours, you savor it like an insider. From handmade pasta in Emilia-Romagna to Barolo tastings in Piedmont, truffle hunting in the Langhe hills to sunset dinners on the Sicilian coast, our Italy Food & Wine Tours are fully private, tailor-made journeys crafted entirely around your palate.
Every itinerary is designed by our culinary travel specialists and led by expert local guides, sommeliers, and chefs. Travel in luxury private vehicles, stay in handpicked villas, wine estates, and boutique hotels, and dine at tables most travelers never reach.
Tuscany – Rolling Hills & Renaissance Flavors
Under the cypress trees of Val d’Orcia, taste Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino at family-run estates, join a hands-on Tuscan cooking class in a centuries-old farmhouse, and savor bistecca alla fiorentina in Florence. Private olive oil tastings, pecorino cheese farms, and candlelit dinners among the vineyards complete the picture.
Piedmont – Truffles, Barolo & Slow Food
The birthplace of the Slow Food movement is Italy’s gourmet heartland. Hunt for white truffles in the Langhe hills with expert guides and their dogs, taste legendary Barolo and Barbaresco in historic cellars, and dine at the region’s celebrated trattorias. Don’t miss agnolotti del plin and the chocolate traditions of Turin.
Emilia-Romagna – Italy’s Food Valley
Known as Italy’s breadbasket, this is where Parmigiano-Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena, and Prosciutto di Parma are born. Tour artisan producers, roll fresh tortellini by hand in Bologna — Italy’s culinary capital — and enjoy private tastings of aged balsamic passed down through generations.
Sicily – Island Flavors & Ancient Vineyards
From Mount Etna’s volcanic wines to Palermo’s vibrant street food markets, Sicily is Italy’s most surprising culinary frontier. Taste granita and cannoli, join a cooking class in a baroque palazzo, and dine on just-caught seafood as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.
