Tastes & Textiles
​Small Group Tours

Picture
Tastes & Textiles small group tours are designed specially for people with a lively interest in fibres, textiles and the delicious regional food of Italy. Depending on which tour you choose, you'll find yourself in exquisite little-known corners of Tuscany, Le Marche or Sardinia, where you'll meet extraordinary artisan craftspeople, young and old. They carry on the local traditions and rejuvenate them without the support of a network of craft guilds. An inspiration to all of us. Intimate escorted tours (maximum 10 people).

The tour was amazing. Every day was full of new adventures.  I learned a lot and met wonderful people. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. –PU, USA, May 2018
