CAMPANIA FELIX

On the Tyrrhenian Sea lies the most famous destination of Southern Italy, Campania!  Dramatic coastlines, picturesque hilltop villages, and fertile plains have made this land bountiful of culture and traditions. Pliny the Edler referred to this part of Italy as Campania Felix, happy or lucky Campania, as it was like no other of the Roman Empire, also thanks to its mild mesmerizing climate and breathtaking views.

Because of its fabulous food and incredible number of native grape varietal wines, Campania should be on every food & wine lover's places to visit.  This specially designed 9-day journey includes carefully selected food & wine experiences and entertaining activities like Neapolitan Pizza making, a Mozzarella di Bufala workshop, and Gragnano, where air-dried, bronze-extruded pasta is celebrated worldwide. 

The tour begins in  captivating Naples to explore the vibrant Centro Storico and where a  renowned Michelin Star restaurant will entice our tastebuds. Our expert guide in archeology will lead us through the magnificent Vesuvian ruins of Herculaneum and the best-preserved Doric temples in Paestum. Enjoy a private boat excursion to Ischia for a hands-on farm-to-table island cooking class. In beautiful Capri, we engage in an exquisite tasting of local delicacies and participate in a traditional limoncello workshop.

Delight in VIP cellar tours and sit down tastings at top estates such as Mastroberardino  and Villa Matilde.
