ITALY'S HEART & TABLE: ART, WINE, AND TRADITIONS
Italy's icons for art and food & wine lovers — Venice galleon dinner, Florence wine tasting, pizza in Naples, Pompeii.
The journey
Ten days through Italy's four icons — Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples — connected by high-speed train. A walking tour through Venice's hidden alleys followed by a galleon dinner in the lagoon, Michelangelo's David and a sommelier-led wine tasting in Florence, the Tuscan trio of Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa, the Colosseum and Testaccio Market in Rome, hands-on pizza making in Naples, and a full day at Pompeii and Vesuvius. Art and the table, balanced through every city.
Highlights
- Hidden Venice walking tour Secret alleys, artisan workshops, and stories far from the crowds. Venice the way locals walk it.
- Venetian Lagoon galleon dinner An evening cruise on a galleon through the lagoon, with gourmet dinner at a private table on board. Shared boat, private table.
- Premium 8-wine tasting in Florence A sommelier-led tasting of eight Italian wines in a curated Florence venue — labels and stories, not just sips.
- Accademia Gallery skip-the-line Guided small-group visit to see Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Slaves. The masterpieces, without the wait.
- Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa, full day A full day through Tuscany's three medieval icons — guided tour, lunch and wine tasting along the way.
- Colosseum and Ancient Rome Skip-the-line guided tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Rome's classical heart, told properly.
- Testaccio Market food experience A guided food walk through Rome's most authentic neighborhood — market tastings, family-run trattorias, the city's table
- Hands-on pizza class in Naples Make pizza with a Neapolitan pizzaiolo — the original method, the original city. Then eat what you made.
- Pompeii and Vesuvius, full day Guided full-day tour of the archaeological site and the volcano that buried it. Lunch included along the way.

Selling tips
-
The balance between art and the table
Most Italy itineraries pick a side — either art-heavy or food-led. This one is built deliberately on both. Hidden Venice walks pair with galleon dinners, Michelangelo pairs with sommelier-led tastings, the Colosseum pairs with Testaccio. The angle for clients who refuse to choose.
-
Four cities, four different food signatures
Each city has its own table moment: galleon dinner in Venice, premium wine tasting in Florence, market walk in Rome, hands-on pizza in Naples. Four cities, four different culinary formats. A clear food angle for clients who want variety, not repetition.
-
The Naples + Pompeii closer
Most grand tours stop at Rome. This one keeps going to Naples for two nights — pizza making in the city where pizza was born, then a full day at Pompeii and Vesuvius. The South included as a substantial chapter, not a half-day add-on.
