Upcoming Journeys
Calabria, September 1-8, 2023
So, you’re ready to head to one of Italy’s best-kept secret, Calabria? Then let this native Calabrese take you there! Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures is really excited to announce our next adventure to this beautiful, and little explored region! Undiscovered and undisturbed by massive tourism, the week promises organized activities, cooking classes, delicious foods & wine lunches, day trips to vineyards, farm visits, and some afternoon time to hit the hotel’s private beach! Enjoy time with welcoming locals, authentic foods, beautiful scenery and remarkable experiences. A week not to be missed if you’re craving to see a different Italy.
Christmastime in Tuscany December 3 - 10, 2023
The focus of this magical week will be immersing ourselves in the holiday spirit in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. We will spend time visiting various Tuscan markets, shop for artisanal products and purchase unique gifts not found anywhere else in the world. Skip commercial shops, “early bird discounts” and mass-produced items this year and shop directly from the makers and artisans themselves. Purchase unique hand-made leather goods, wooden gifts, hand-knitted scarfs, pottery, even foodie gifts, all to take back to the States. Our week will also include seasonal cooking classes, and wine tastings, and a delicious street food tour.
Our home base for the entire week will be Florence. Arguably, one of the most historic and most visited cities in Italy, if not the world. Florence is home to such treasures as the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia, and countless churches including Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce. Not to be missed is the Ponte Vecchio, or the “old bridge,” the only bridge to cross Florence until 1218 and the only bridge in Florence that was not to be destroyed during WWII. See the bridge illuminated and like you’ve never seen it before!
Folks should plan on arriving and departing from Florence International Airport.
