Overview

Two of Italy’s great food regions in one trip. Start in the whitewashed trulli towns of Puglia, where orecchiette is still shaped by hand on doorsteps, then fly north to the cypress-lined hills of Tuscany.

You will stay on working farms, eat with the families who run them and learn why the olive oil tastes different on every hill.
