Alessandro is a real character, great energy and a passion for explaining everything about how great Parmigiana/Romano, Prosciutto Ham and Balsamic Vinegars are made. You will forever have a new appreciation and, unfortunately, won't want the substitutes you were happy with before! More

Italian Days Food Experience is indeed about experiencing just three of Italy's many beautiful foods. I'm sure that you can visit cheese makers, acetaias and prosciutto makers on your own, but you will miss the passionate, enthusiastic, funny and educational commentary provided by Alessandro, the owner of the food tour company. I believe that Alessandro is a serious foodie who... More

Fantastic day out - well worth the money. Other reviews say it all. One tip - do not book an evening meal for the day you go on the trip. You get so much food that we didn't eat another thing for 18 hours! It is best not to plan anything for the rest of the day - apart from... More

He picked us up at our hotel at 7 a.m., drove us out into the hills of Tuscany to view the actual making of parmesan reggiano cheese (DOP approved), fresh ricotta (absolutely fabulous), then off to see the creation of balsamic vinegar. When aged for 6-12 years, it changes completely. We had no... More

From start to finish the Italian Days Food Experience has been more than we could possibly imagine. It is surely not to be missed by anyone. Great work Alessandro and Barbara, we will hope to come back soon with more friends. More

WE liked being picked up/dropped off. The cost was high, especially when one can see Parmesan Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar being made on ones own at no cost. Lunch arranged by Alessandro was excellent More

You can not put a price tag on the type of experience that Allesandro provides on this tour. He is a fabulous and humorous tour guide. Barbara, his girlfriend is wonderful and handled all scheduling and correspondence of our tour perfectly. Allesandro's enthusiasm, passion and knowledge of the food and its production is outstanding. My husband and I always stay... More
