Tour Itinerary at a Glance
Along Italy’s central Adriatic coast lies the Abruzzo region, known for its artisanal cheeses and full-bodied wines. On this 7-day tour from Epitourean, you’ll stay in the quaint town of Carunchio, nestled in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains. You’ll have a posh experience from the start: you’ll be picked up at Rome’s Fiumicino airport in a luxury vehicle and taken to the Palazzo Tour d’Eau, a 19th-century mansion turned hotel perched on the town’s highest hilltop. Your days will be filled with gourmet meals with wine—all of which are included—hands-on cooking classes, and guided sightseeing excursions throughout the Italian countryside.
- Day 1: After making your own way to Rome’s Fiumicino airport, you’ll be transferred to the hotel in Abruzzo and enjoy a welcome dinner in Carunchio.
- Day 2: Visit an olive-oil mill and join a hands-on cooking class.
- Day 3: Learn how to make your own pasta, then sample Abruzzo wines in a wine-pairing class.
- Day 4: Tour Vasto along the Adriatic coast and indulge in fresh seafood.
- Day 5: Make a vegetarian dish and an almond biscotti.
- Day 6: Tour Agnone to see mozzarella and ricotta production, visit a bell factory, and learn how to make pizza.
- Day 7: You’ll be transferred back to Rome.
