Sustainable Food Vacations

Enogastronomical Tours Selected in Cooperation with Slow Food Italia

 

There is no better way to get acquainted with culture than through its food, so come immerse yourself in Italy with these mouth-watering vacations and activities! These sustainable enogastronomic itineraries were created in coordination with Slow Food Italia.

With these tours, you are not learning to prepare and sample just any Italian foods.  Slow Foods Italia works with small local producers to help preserve products that are good, clean and fair:

Good: Delicious food created with care from healthy plants and animals.
Clean: Nutritious food that is as good for the planet as it is for our bodies.
Fair: Food that is accessible to all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.

Slow Food, a movement started by Carlo Petrini in the 1980's is a growing organization that is not only in Italy, but in over 160 countries worldwide. This is divided into 1300 convivia (local chapters).  You can become a member of your local chapter of Slow Food to support this meaningful organization and do you part in embracing these Slow Food methods.

Membership starts for only $25 with special benefits for a $60 donation.
