Collette’s new ‘Best of Italy’ tour gives travelers a taste of some of the nation’s finest cuisines

Pawtucket, RI (Jan. 5, 2023) — Travelers taking Collette’s new Best of Italy tour have been getting the most out of one of the nation’s most popular aspects, the food! Meals featured on the 12-day experience have been a hit, with travelers rating them as excellent over 72% of the time. Collette’s small group Explorations tours are extremely popular with travelers, with the lower group number allowing for more in depth cultural experiences.

Some of the great culinary experiences featured on the 12-day itinerary include a hands-on cooking class dedicated to Romagna’s garganelli and strozzapreti pastas, a visit to a vocational culinary arts school for a Parmigiano cheese and Balsamic vinegar tasting, and a food tour through Rome’s medieval district Trastevere. Anyone looking to secure their spot on this tour can do so as early as April 30, 2023, with prices starting at $4,099 USD pp.

Mary A., a traveler from Marquette, Michigan, highlighted her favorite experiences while on tour, writing, “The lovely lunch at the family farm and the lunch at the vocational school were two of my favorite stops.”

“Travelers who take our Best of Italy tour always get to enjoy some of the nation’s finest tastes,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, President and Chief Brand Officer at Collette. “Plus, being a part of a smaller group allows them to take part in more in-depth experiences, like the multiple locally-hosted meals or the pasta cooking class. Not to mention the other great cultural activities featured in the itinerary.”
