The Cucina Abruzzese Tour, September 2016

If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant? — Martin Scorsese

IMG_4188We’ve been working feverishly here to put together a food and wine-oriented tour for you — with just enough history and even a little down time — to keep you all enchanted. Of course, it’s Italy, so how could you not be enchanted?

IMG_3990Here’s what we’ve got so far:

  1. Walking tour of Sulmona
  2. Visit to an olive oil mill from the 1700s, with a tasting
  3. Cooking class at the wonderful Hotel Ovidio
  4. Visit and tasting at the oldest winery in Abruzzo
  5. Food-oriented walking tour of Guardiagrele
  6. Visits to Scanno and Pacentro
  7. Arrosticini BBQ lunch in Italy’s “Little Tibet”
  8. Walk through Santo Stefano and then the amazing Rocca Calascio
  9. Tour of the Abbey Morronese in Badia with the inimitable Novelia
  10. Tour of Campo 78
  11. Three-hour lunch experience at Costa del Gallo
  12. A visit to the Pelino confetti museum and store

IMG_4300. . .  Plus a few other surprises if I can pull them off! What are you waiting for? Air fares are starting to drop now and it’s time to plan your fall getaway.

The price for everything you see here, plus local transportation and many other meals, is a mere $2,495 per person. Airfare is on your own. All I need is a check for $500 by July 15 to reserve your spot.

There are only 4 more spaces available, soIMG_4160 please contact me soon or you’ll have to wait until next year!

Ci vediamo in Abruzzo!
