The Gift of Adventure
Give the gift of an unforgettable culinary travel experience! Go to Parma, Italy with Oldways in April 2024 (or Greece in May, Piedmont, Italy in October or Croatia in November)!
In Parma, hands-on cooking classes, wine tastings, visits to producers of Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale, and more are on the itinerary during this weeklong tour of Parma and Emilia Romagna, guided by Oldways. This is the perfect curated trip for food lovers-whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with your family or as a group of siblings or friends.
Lynne Rossetto Kasper, author and host of The Splendid Table, says, “Ask an Italian where to eat only one meal in Italy and, after recommending his mother’s house, it is more than likely you will be sent to Emilia Romagna.”We’ll eat fabulously in neighborhood trattorias, country inns and classic city restaurants, and you’ll return home with recipes, memories, and experiences that will last a lifetime.
