Tour Tuscany this summer with Rialto chef and cookbook author Jody Adams when she teams up with Dun Gifford of Oldways Preservation Trust for a week-long trip exploring the secrets behind Tuscany’s food and wine treasures. Using Florence as a home base, travelers will fan out from there to dig deeply into the region’s wines, olive oils, fresh produce and the secrets of its amazing dishes. Guests will have a chance to visit with local producers of food and wine specially selected by Adams; savor special dishes, or house specialties and meals at well-known local restaurants; and learn from hands-on cooking lessons led by Adams and local chefs. The trip, which is scheduled from July 3rd through July 10th, is in conjunction with Oldways Preservation Trust, the widely-respected nonprofit “food issues think tank.” For more information about the trip call 617.896.4866 or take a look at the brochure.
