Participating in a Culinary Tour in Italy you will enjoy an unforgettable personal food and wine experience.
Is a culinary tour the same as agritourism? Not really. Culinary Tours differ from agriturismo holidays in that culinary tourism is considered a subset of cultural tourism (cooking is a manifestation of culture), whereas agritourism is considered a subset of rural tourism. A Culinary Tour focuses more on the food and learning to cook Italian dishes while offering a higher class holiday. In an agritourism, the accomodations can sometimes be shabby in a country house, while our guests stay in lovely rooms with high-quality food and professional service.
Culinary tourism is an exploratory relationship with the edible world. Whether you go to food or food comes to you, the nature of the encounter is what defines a food experience as culinary tourism. Where food is the focus of travel, itineraries are organized around the cooking school. Food magazines and epicurean books guide to people to the right location and the right cooking school. Some cooking schools are more advertised than others. It is up to the individual to search and discover what is right for them.
Abruzzo Cibus Culinary Tours delivers a unique experience that will be exclusive and special like a gourmet tour should be. We like to emphasize that you will “be the only tourist” and that we are definitely off the beaten path.
