Your Guide: Chef Walters – part culinary maestro, part historian, part storyteller. With a well-worn leather satchel and an infectious passion for "food as memory," he doesn't just lead tours; he orchestrates immersive experiences.
The Premise: "We are not just tasting food," he would begin, his voice a warm, low rumble as the group gathers in a sun-drenched piazza in Lecce. "We are tasting history. We are searching for the echoes of a community that shaped this land's very soul, then was forced into silence. Their story is baked into the bread, preserved in the olives, and hidden in the labyrinthine streets of the centro storico.".

Savor Lyon: A Taste of Ancient Appetites
Prepare for a journey to the undisputed culinary capital of France! Lyon isn't just a city; it's a delicious obsession, built on 2,000 years of history and a passion for the good life.
You’ll wander through secret passageways called traboules, following in the footsteps of Roman emperors and Renaissance silk traders. But the real treasure lies in the legendary bouchons—cozy, family-run bistros where you’ll feast on silky chicken liver mousse and savory poulet aux écrevisses.
And what’s a feast without the perfect pour? We’ll venture into the sun-drenched vineyards of Beaujolais and the golden slopes of the Côtes du Rhône. Sip vibrant, gluggable Gamay beside the winemaker and discover majestic Syrahs in ancient cellars.
This is more than a tour; it's an immersion into the very soul of French gastronomy. Come with an appetite for adventure, history, and unforgettable flavors.
Your table in Lyon is waiting. Are you ready to taste history?

The Soul of the Mezzogiorno: A Culinary Odyssey to Calabria, Italy's Untamed Edge
This is a journey to the very tip of the boot, to a land of wild, dramatic beauty and fierce, proud traditions. Calabria is not for the timid traveler. It is the deep south of the deep south—the Mezzogiorno in its most potent, unfiltered, and breathtaking form. With Chef Walter as your guide, you will venture beyond the postcard to discover a region where the food is fiery, the history is written in ancient ruins and ghost villages, and the culture is as rugged and beautiful as its coastline.
The Philosophy: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea
Chef Walter believes Calabria’s soul is defined by its dramatic geography: the wild, wolf-haunted forests of the Sila and Aspromonte massifs plunge directly into the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas. This tour is a journey through this vertical landscape, exploring how isolation and a history of conquest have forged a culture of incredible resilience and a cuisine that is bold, preservative, and explosively flavorful.
