Italian Guided Tour
| Food & Culture 2026

Puglia

While it’s true that having a meal at Fazio will give you l’esperienza Italiana, nothing compares to travelling to Italy and immersing yourself in the country, the culture, the people, the food, and of course, the wines.

The Real
Esperienza Italiana

Join me for next tour September 2026

My family comes from Sicily. Not having been there for the past two years due to Covid, I can’t wait to get over again to the beautiful island of my ancestors, ‘Isola Bella’.

Join us on this wonderful trip where you will share in carefully researched experiences, both centered around food and culture. We have put together an itinerary that will showcase the best that Sicily has to offer. Including gorgeous beaches, live volcanoes, ancient Greek cities, spectacular seafood and exceptional wines.

Recent Testimonial

Italy is amazing. Sicily is something else.

But the cooking tour with Sam was on a different level.

We waited 3 years to fulfill our dream of traveling with Sam and the experience was well worth the wait. The food, wine, cocktails by the pool and trips to Mt Etna, Syracuse and Taormina , were all part of a wonderful dream, only to be surpassed by the hospitality shown by Sam and his crew. It was a trip of a lifetime and we highly recommend anyone joining future tours.

You will not be disappointed.
