Dive Deep Into Italian Cuisine

Now that you’ve experienced Casa Artusi through the Residency at Cooks of Crocus Hill, do you want to go deeper into your love of Italian cuisine? Esperienza will take you to the source! With a rich culinary and cultural heritage, Emilia-Romagna is the center of Italian cuisine, and the home of our Culinary Immersion Tours in Italy.

Travel with us, and leave behind crowds, noise, and tourist traps as we introduce you to rural Romagna, an unspoiled land where people are passionate, kind, generous, and proud of their traditions. Together with our local host Susy Patrito, and our partners at Casa Artusi, we’ll introduce like-minded foodie adventurers like you to our network of friends: farmers, agronomists, foragers, cheese makers, chocolate makers, bakers, vintners, and chefs, all of whom are inspired by the beauty of the countryside and the bounty it produces. Their craftsmanship and passion can leave a lasting impression on us… and perhaps bring all of us closer at the table!

This is our Italy. This is Esperienza.

Culinary TOUR PROGRAMS

Abundant in personal interactions, our culinary trips in rural Italy offer learning opportunities, and cherished experiences of the amazing food, wine, and culinary culture named by UNESCO as an intangible world heritage. Through carefully designed small group tours, together we’ll discover the beauty of some of Italy’s most charming medieval towns and villages that share not only Italy’s food and wine, but also its history, culture, and art. Most importantly, we will meet the people - those who produce the ingredients and those who turn them into something much more than just a meal!
