An Unforgettable Week
Food, Wine, Culture, Fun and Education
you can’t get anywhere else.

SEVEN BEAUTIFUL Italian NIGHTS, EIGHT DAYS
to enjoy the best of Northern Italy

The Wine: Visits to wineries where winemakers themselves will greet us and treat us to the best they can offer; Franciacorta, Valpolicella, Amarone, Chianti, Prosecco and more. We’ll explore the entire range of wine, from local consortiums to world fabulous vintners. You’ll return with a solid appreciation of the grapes, the wines and the winemakers of Northern Italy.

The Food: We’ll taste the beautiful artisan foods of the  Veneto and Emilia-Romagna like Polenta, Risotto, Tortelli, Balsamic vinegar of Modena, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. In Verona we will visit a groundbreaking bakery, numbered among the best in Italy as well as making our own tortelli for lunch in a spectacular local restaurant. All our meals will be paired with the best local wines – maybe not breakfast

Your Hosts: Healthy Chef Partyologist Nancy Waldeck hosts over 100 wine and food events every year, having fun translating the craft of pairing to eager audiences.
