Culinary Vacations in Italy
Our Culinary Vacations are immersive experiences that combine hands-on Italian cooking classes and private guided cultural tours to the regions you’ve always dreamed of visiting.
Ready to build your dream Italy vacation?
Stay at Chef Stefano’s historic mountain retreat on Mt. Fumaiolo — then add on destinations like Florence, Siena, Rome, Venice, Amalfi Coast and more. Every itinerary is private, customized, and planned entirely around you and your small group.
This isn’t a big group tour with a rigid schedule. This is your own personal Italy experience with a chef and local guides by your side. You’ll cook, explore, shop, taste and enjoy Italy at a slower pace with people who know how to unlock the best local food, culture and traditions in every region.
An immersive cooking experience and a private tour of Italy — all in one memorable vacation you’ll talk about for years to come. This is the easiest (and most delicious) way to travel Italy!
Tell us where you want to go — and we’ll design your perfect itinerary. Start planning your all-inclusive Culinary Vacation in Italy today.

You’ll savor la dolce vita in destinations like Venice, Florence, Bologna, Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Portofino and more—all with the ease of having a private chef and local guides by your side.
