    If you are looking for a unique, non-touristy experience, check out this tour with Italia Sweet Italia. It exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend this tour more. Fabrizio, his family and friends are so warm & welcoming. The food, wine and daily activities are informative and fun. This region of Italy is beautiful, and the tour is casual and relaxed. There is a good deal of walking involved but it only adds to the overall experience. I hope to return soon. "Ciao for Now!"

    This was the trip of a lifetime. Fabrizio welcomes you to his home and introduces you to his family and a collection of local producers and artists. Small, private visits to a winery and olive oil mill that were relaxed and beautiful. We felt cared for and more like guests than tourists.

    We have been to Italy many times - always with a bias towards non touristy places and good Italian hospitality and amazing food. We were treated like members of the family with Fabrizio and his family. We had such an amazing time and really got to experience the local culture and local people and local food. We loved it so much that we have recently booked another tour for 2024
