Delve into Italy’s colorful culinary scene and discover the flavors the locals love, on this food- and wine-tasting tour in Verona.  Begin your tasting tour in the same way that most Italians begin their day: with an espresso! Pair the robust coffee with a delicious pastry, then continue on through the bustling streets as your expert guide shares insight into Verona’s thriving food scene.  During your walking tour, sample fresh salami, Parma ham, and Parmigiano cheese with balsamic vinegar at a traditional delicatessen. Stop in a small local take-away and savor a slice of Verona’s finest pizza, made the traditional way with a sourdough starter. Next up, raise a toast with a good glass of local wine in a Veronese ‘osteria’, or tavern. You could choose a Prosecco, Valpolicella, or even the famous Amarone.  Continue on to a pasta workshop, where fresh tortellini are made the old-fashioned way — by hand. Learn about the process of making pasta, from mixing and rolling the dough to stuffing it, and sample some of the freshly made pasta for yourself.  Finish your decadent tasting tour with a delicious Italian gelato, and feel like a real Veronese local!
