What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

What travelers are saying

"We used CIE for an amazing tour of Ireland. The food and the locals were amazing. Here is my issue: we were told that another CIE tour from Scotland would be joining us in Dublin. The majority of those travelers had some type of respiratory virus and joined our tour. Tour director knew they were sick as she pointed out pharmacies at every tour stop. Every scheduled breakfast, lunch or dinner was restricted to certain tables since we had limited reserved seating and that virus spread like wildfire among the original Dublin travelers. My understanding is that CIE has a policy that “sick” passengers are not permitted on the tour. My wife got the “sickness” and I got COVID. Ruined such an amazing place. I placed a customer service ticket with CIE on 21 May 2014 and have heard nothing back. I will probably see Bigfoot before a response."

Italy Culinary & Wine Tours Tour Selection Trips

  • Italian culture, dialects, and food are very regional specific. Participating in a food tour will help highlight this.
  • American-Italian food tends to be heavier than most of the fare you’ll find in the motherland. Pasta is generally not dry and boxed, pizza crust is very thin, and sauces are less heavy.
  • Italian food can be high in starch, gluten, and carbohydrates. If you have dietary restrictions, let your guide know as far in advance as possible.
  • Be open to new tastes and traditions. Meals in Italy are a celebrated, communal, family affair. Enjoy it!
  • When wine tasting, it can be very easy to not realize how quickly the pours add up. If you’re cognizant of how much you’re drinking you and your tour companions will enjoy the day much more. 
  • Breakfast food is fairly basic in Italy- Don’t expect enormous meals in the morning. Just a simple biscotti with an espresso is perfect.
  • Ordering coffee in Italy can be nerve-wracking. There’s an entire culture surrounding it, from when to drink (cappuccino is strictly a morning drink) to how to drink properly (usually standing at the bar and quickly). And if you order a latte, you will be served a large glass of milk rather than your desired concoction (caffe con latte). 
  • Be prepared for coffee fundamentals - Starbucks variations and syrups are not to be found.
