Italy

Are you a wine lover, just like me? There are twenty regions in Italy, and each region comes with their own wine! This is because each flavor of grape that is grown in each region alters the taste of the different wines. Each region, city, and town also has their own distinct dishes that go well with their wines. Whether it is pasta, meat, polenta, or even chocolate and cheese that you were after, you were going to find it somewhere in Italy. Join me as we go on a wine and food tour across some of the small towns in Italy. My name is Jai, and I am American, but I have traveled extensively, and have been living overseas for 5 years and counting. Not only do I love travel, but I also like cultures and languages, as well as random adventures. Stay tuned for music festivals and extreme sports, and other adventures. Our Accommodation: We will stay in shared accommodation (apartment or hotel). We are mainly in this for wine and food, and not so much for flashy, comfort. Our comfort will be in our stomachs. How to get around: We will rent a car. Looking for at least one TripMate with a driver's license eligible to drive in the EU. If not, we will rent a car and pay for fuel.

Florence

Day 1-2

We will meet in Florence to start. This way we have a central meeting point, so everyone can join together. We can walk around Florence, eat, begin drinking wine, and we will stay in a hotel (so there will be airport shuttle) for one night. The next day,.we will start the wine tour of our lives!

Marmore Falls

Day 2

Built by the Romans to protect against a river, there are waterfalls and trails to allow us to have a day trip of hiking and sightseeing in the beautiful, historical nature of the Italian countryside. We will pack a picnic lunch to share. Bring comfortable shoes, good clothes, plenty of water, and an adventurous, positive spirit for the day.

Montefalco

Day 2-3

This is one of the wine stops. This town in its wine is not known so much outside of Italy. It is some of the strongest and most expensive. But a glass should still cost around €5 depending on inflation of course. We will pair this wine with traditional dishes from the region. We will likely stay in an apartment overnight.

Montepulciano

Day 3-4

Our next wine stop will be Montepulciano, which is a picturesque, Renaissance town. We will stay the night in a hotel or apartment here. We will explore the town by day and have a more formal wine festivity in the evening. Red wine is said to be best here, but we will be the judge of that by the end of the night.

Metropolitan City of Venice

Day 4-9

We will stay at accommodation in Venice and go to nearby wineries. There are specific grapes grown in this region. So we will be able to balance city and town life in this region to make the most of our time.

Valdobbiadene

Day 9

There are about five towns to sip prosecco and champagne here, so let's take time to celebrate this region. There will be plenty of food, bubbly drinks, and nature walks. This is the most famous for its prosecco, without many tourists. It is a definite once in a lifetime place to go! Although we will be staying in a hotel or apartment in Venice, we have the option to travel also throughout this region.

Turin

Day 9-10

The last night, we will spend in Turin. We will stay in hostel if possible. Otherwise, a hotel or apartment. Turin is also a city with history and architecture. Turin will conclude the official wine tour.

Aosta

Day 10-11

Aosta is in a valley not too far from Switzerland. So not only will there be delicious wine and food, but scenery to go with it. We will spend a night here in some accommodation, most likely a hotel or apartment.

Liguria

Day 11-13

Liguria is a region known for medieval towns, spongy pasta, and white wine. There we will eat and drink plenty as we explore the medieval architecture and history. They also have a special olive in this region too.
