Experience Details

Enjoy a private food tour with your fun and knowledgeable host Martina. Your first food stop will an Italian bakery where you will taste savory or sweet baked goods. Next, explore the Sant’Ambrogio market. Here you will not only discover a variety of typical Italian produce but also get an in-depth understanding of the way locals buy, eat and cook food. You will make 5 stops and try 5-6 different types of food. Your food tastings will be accompanied by up to 2 glasses of wine.
