CLASSIC FOOD& WINE TOURS

Charming 4 stars Hotels. How it works: Schedule,
Wines, Meals
Italianwinetours creates really customized tour, tailor made on your choices as to the blend of culinary and wine tasting experiences, lodgings quality and cultural contents. The  rates are, consequently variable. However to give you a specific reference rate, we offer our Classic tour package, which offer, too, the best value price. This is, as we  learned over 25 years, what most of our curious gourmet and wine fans prefer: 2 wine tasting per day, 1 slowfood, gastronomic meal per day, 4 stars hotels blended with nice 3 stars and agriturismi, see below. 
TOUR PRICE example. From € 4000/person, for 8 days and min 6 max 8 people.  Prices change of 10-15% between peak and low season, and are always higher in some crowded destinations, as the Amalfi coast or the Dolomites. 
CUSTOM MADE PRICE: Contact us to get your best custom made quote. We need to know 5 points:  group size, destination, month,  tour length if you want to make it shorter or add an extension, if you prefer a custom-made inclusions package. 
TOUR LENGHT. A Classic Food & Wine Tour starts from 8 days. For regions as Tuscany, Puglia, Sicily, we suggest  8 to 10 days, because they offer a richer variety of cuisine, DOC wines, natural and historical sites. With the 10 and 12 days tours, we offer a free day, to get a break, relax or do what you like better!   If you want a GETAWAY TOUR, of 4-5 days,  contact us for details. 
WHICH INCLUSIONS:  Italianwinetours proposes a list of inclusions, with one meal, two tasting or food experiences per day and so on. We are happy to change our inclusions depending on your personal preference, in case you look for more or less tastings or for other activities.  
WHICH LODGINGS: We hand-pick 4 star hotels or equivalent agritusimi, or  the best 3* where a 4* is not available. We favour small hotels, run by local people and not by hotel industries. The agriturismi (country resorts) can be old villas, farmhouses, or mansions, sonetime they are wine resorts. In brief, they have character, and they are part of local experience, same as the wines that we are going to discover. They are the best choice if you want to stay away from the cities, in complete quiet.

HOW THE TOUR WORKS

Daily shedule example. Start at 09 am, return to the hotel by 5 or 6 pm. The day includes 2 or 3 wine tasting, a relaxed lunch, and time for sightseeing, cultural visits, or shopping in case. The transfers are short, usually 2-3 hours total in the whole day. This schedule is the same for the three travel modes, but can, of course, be changed at your preference.

Wine tastings. On a typical day there is time to visit 2 or 3 wineries, and taste 10 to 15 wines. And 2 more during the meal included. In the older wine regions there is an amazing variety of historical estates, castles, monasteries, noble mansions, and also new designer wineries. And small boutique wineries and rustic farmhouses too. To give you a complete range of experiences, we select the best of each type, but we do not have a fixed choice and a routine tour. A visit and tasting takes between one and two hours, depending on the estate’s size, on how many questions you ask, and, eventually on the winemaker’s mood that day! Altogether no less than 5 hours are dedicated to the wine experiences. If you prefer a more intensive tasting, like wine professionals do, just let us know.

Meals. We include one meal per day, one day lunch, the next day dinner for example. A full 4 courses Italian meal, with 2 local DOC wines, and we suggest what we regard as the more distinctive, seasonal, and local dishes. Yet you can always order at you taste.
