Tastes of Italy
Experience Italy through your taste buds! This nine-day small group tour is led by a Travelmarvel Tour Director who will help you explore the country’s culture and culinary traditions. Begin in Sorrento, where you’ll learn about lemon cultivation and sip zesty samples during a limoncello tasting. Discover Florence through the senses, ordering full-bodied reds through the city’s wine windows, and following the scent of Italian cuisine to find hidden gems among the city’s famous landmarks and galleries. Venture into Tuscany’s sun-kissed countryside to visit a vineyard and chat with the family who owns it, before sitting down to a farm-to-table lunch paired with local wines. This Italian adventure also includes a dawn tour of Rome, a visit to Pompeii and time in Venice to see how iconic gondolas are made.

Embark on a sensory tour of Florence at dusk and see the city in a new light. Sample local bites, order a glass of red at a wine window, and admire the city’s architecture.

Connect with locals at a boutique winery in Tuscany. Meet the family who owns the vineyard and listen to their engaging stories before tucking into a farm-to-table meal with wine pairing.
