“The trip was like experiencing the pleasure of receiving one of Zingerman’s famous gift boxes or foods of the month clubs. The same care and expertise that goes into selecting the food offerings was used to create a wonderful and focused travel experience.

“I usually don’t sign up for European tours.  I’ve found it more fun to plan everything myself, and discover things via research, discovery, etc.  However, because this was a small group, and didn’t feel like a stressful, cookie-cutter tour, I have been highly recommending it. Really, it was wonderful.”  –Sarah, Sicily 2009

“I toured Italy and Spain on my own with guide books for several weeks after my Zingerman’s food tour of Sicily. I can absolutely appreciate the work that went into the careful selection of restaurants and specialty food producers we visited.
