You'll also hear about delicious Piedmont (the region that produces the largest number of best known, noble, and prize-winning wines), the now-famous Cinque Terre and not-to-be-missed Parma. Then we’ll move to two of the most breathtaking regions of Italy: Umbria and Tuscany. We'll journey to undiscovered Medieval Villages and see rare Renaissance art and architecture. Learn not only where to taste delicious wines in ancient Etruscan caves, but also how to tempt your taste buds with olive oil and genuine balsamic vinegar.
