So often when I post something delicious on Facebook or Instagram, the comments that I receive are along the lines of ‘Can I come too?’ or ‘Is there a place set for me?’
Yes, you can. The answer is: Yes.
Would you like to join Sophie and me for a week-long , food-filled adventure in the Eternal City? We are leading two delicious tours this fall, and would love it if you could come along. Your place is set and waiting.
During the 6 day tours we’ll have the time to explore Rome, from a completely food-centric point of view. From breakfast through lunch, we’ll wander all over the city, tasting, drinking, eating, cooking , learning and having fun.
We’ll be based in the Monti neighborhood (which, if you read this blog, you may feel you already know well) , one of Rome’s most characteristic and charming areas. You will be staying in a private apartment, complete with kitchen, wifi , bedroom and sitting room. The days will be full, with adventures both in and out of Rome. But don’t worry, you’ll have some down time as well, to head off on your own to explore.
Some of the things we’ll be doing:
Welcome dinner in my home (see! I told you I set a place for you!)
Tour of the Food Artisans of Trastevere
Private tour and lunch at the American Academy of Rome
Dinner at my local pizzeria
Market walk and Cooking Class
Cheese and Wine Tasting Dinner
Day Trip to a Goat Farm and Winery
Rooftop Cocktails
Gelato and Roman Fountain Tour
And much more…..
The dates of the tours are October 18 and November 15. I’m sending out this email now since the sign up deadlines are approaching fast. The deadline for October is September 10, and for November I have to hear from you by October 1. The tours are limited to a total of 8 people, and IÂ have a few spots left on each one.
Why October and November? I’ve scheduled the tours during this time since it’s low season in Rome and there are not only blissfully fewer tourists around, the airfares come down quite a bit too. (Also, the weather is gloriously cool, perfect for eating our way across the city.)
If you’d like to know more details (prices, etc) just drop me an email : [email protected]
I hope you can make it!!
Dates of Tours: October 18, 2015 and October 15, 2015
Length of Tours: 6 nights

Oh, I wish! We’ll be in Rome the week before that visiting my granddaughter, so I’m actually glad the dates don’t work — I’d be so tempted to join your tour but need to spend every precious moment cuddling a little girl. I look forward to following along via blog and Instagram, and perhaps another year . . . Meanwhile, we’ll surely be visiting some of the places you write about — I’ve been reading your book to my husband as he cooks dinner (a very decent arrangement, imho) and we’re both enjoying it very much!
Sorry you won’t be joining this year, but maybe in the future?
Wish I could join you. *sigh* I think fall is the best time. Buona giornata.
Purtroppo, not possible for me this year but hoping you will offer this wonderful experience again.
I’m hoping it will become a regular thing too!
So glad we at least have our day tour with you the week before.
Martha
This. Sounds. Perfect.
I know I can’t afford it this year but oh how I am jealous of the very smart people who have signed up!!
Let’s hope this becomes a tradition… 🙂
I’m on a teaching schedule, so if you ever have it during the summer or in spring, I’m coming!
Unfortunately I only offer the week long group tours during the off season, since during the summer months I’m fully booked with private tours (which I’d love to have you join!)
