As we walk from spot to spot, your guide will tell you fascinating stories about the neighborhood in addition to filling you in on the history and culture of Italian and more specifically, Northern Italian, cuisine. Several stops will include wine or prosecco pairings from local Lombardy regions, and you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy one of Milan’s most beloved and famous drinks: an aperol spritz.
Of course, no Italian food tour could be complete without finishing with the one and only: gelato! Acknowledged by many food experts as the best ice cream in the world, this sweet treat is a staple across all of Italy. Your guide will teach you the tips and tricks on how to identify the highest quality artisanal gelaterias from the rest, so you can spend the rest of your time in Italy enjoying the best gelato.
