Please join Dame Miriam Michalczyk in exploring some of Northern Italy’s hidden gastronomic gems, on a deliciously unique 7-day tour!

During her undergrad, grad and post-grad years, she has lived in various cities in Italy: studying, teaching, attending culinary school and working in one of Florence’s most popular restaurants. With each return to Italy, Miriam has been fortunate to discover more about these amazing locales and connect with fascinating chefs and artisans who are equally passionate about their work and their culture.

She would very much like to share these unique experiences, some of her favorites, with a small group of like-minded food-lovers, so that together, we can taste all Italy has to offer from an insider’s perspective.
