Italy and France share a deep respect for food, wine, and regional tradition, yet each expresses it in its own distinct way. At Gourmand Breaks, we design privately guided food, wine, and cultural tours across Italy and France, inviting you to experience both countries through their landscapes, kitchens, and everyday rituals. From the vineyard hills of Piedmont and Tuscany to the terroir-driven wine regions of Burgundy and Provence, and onward to the French Riviera, each part of the journey reflects a strong sense of place and craftsmanship.
Along the way, you will spend time with winemakers, cooks, artisans, and local guides who bring depth and perspective to each region. Tastings take place in working wineries and historic domaines, meals are shared in handpicked trattorie and bistros, and experiences emphasize technique, tradition, and cultural context over surface sightseeing.
Every itinerary is private, flexible, and expertly crafted, allowing the journey to unfold at a comfortable, well-judged pace. By combining regional depth with a clear, well-paced itinerary, our journeys across Italy and France feel richly layered without ever feeling overdone.
