NORTHERN ITALY – FALL 2024! 

Wine Tastings, Cooking Classes, High Speed Adventures….

All in the lush and delicious countryside of Northern Italy!

“At the Claremont Inn & Winery we have been teaching Northern Italian Cooking classes for years –this is my favorite cuisine and the Claremont Pantry is stocked with many of these Italian traditional foods that we serve everyday…”

BUT…. BUT… BUT…
There is nothing… absolutely nothing… like going
to the source and tasting these magical ingredients,
experiencing the passion the farmers, cheesemakers, winemakers and families 
have about creating these masterpieces…
​
Here are just a few bullet points of this incredible trip… a little appetizer if you will to whet your appetite for the full menu of things to come on this once in a lifetime trip!!!
-- -    We will start in Lake Garda with time to explore the beautiful village of Sirmione, with its medieval castle  and tour around the lake and visit a winery or two…
--  Lodging will be at the beautiful Grand Hotel Gardone Riviera  or something similar in a most incredible location. 
-- After two days in Lake Garda, we transfer over to Bologna for a 5 night stay.  
-       Cooking Class at Il Salotto di Penelope where we will learn how to make traditional dishes like tagliatelle, lasagne and tortellini, all of which are native pasta dishes to Bologna
-       The Lambrusco Wineries of Emilia Romagna – We will go to Castelvetro, a beautiful hill town just an hour’s drive away from Bologna. Here we will take a tour of a local winery and taste Lambrusco Grasparossa DOP wine. After learning about this fascinating wine-making process and strolling through the gorgeous vineyards that surround the winery, we will enjoy a lunch of local cold cuts, cheeses and breads, as well as fantastic wine, of course!  
​
We will travel to Modena, to witness first hand what goes into making the authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. The tour starts at 9am so that we can see the whole process from start to finish (later tours do not see the initial part of the cheese-making process as it is only done once a day in the morning).  After the guided tour, we will have free time to enjoy the beauty of a rare collection of vintage Maseratis kept on site. The visit will culminate in a lunch including a demonstration by a certified sommelier showcasing the best local produce, from various cheeses, to hams and, of course, wines.
-       We will visit a balsamic vinegar producer and learn about this 'food of the gods'. Following the tour there will be tasting the various qualities and maturation levels of balsamic.
Italy's Luxury Cars and Race Tracks  - This day will start with  A walking tour of Modena and its Unesco World Heritage Site - The first part of the tour will take in the best parts of this culturally rich town, the birthplace of Luciano Pavarotti, and ends with a trip to the covered market that was made famous by the US TV show Master of None. Lunch in the market with more fresh pasta, deli meats, local cheese and fine wine is the perfect way to split up the day after all of that sightseeing.

-       We will enjoy a trip to the Maserati Showroom in Modena and the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, getting a sneak peak into the factory and how the cars are made too. After the tours real petrolheads can opt to take a test drive of an Italian luxury supercar of their choosing on the original test track in Maranello.
​
“Petrolheads – was their word not mine…
​In our house we call that Harry!!!”
-       Then we head into Venice where we will stay at an excellent four-star hotel near the center of the action.  
-       We will experience all of Venice taking tours of Saint Mark's, the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto, the Doge's Palace and more…
 
-       And finish with a farewell Venetian mask making party and farewell dinner…
​​
This is only the beginning of all the AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE, INCREDIBLE things we will do on this trip…. And the best part is we have all of this spaced out and well planned so that you get to experience all of these exciting things – PLUS – also have time to just relax and enjoy the fact that you are there… sit in the town square and sip your favorite beverage… experience how the communities ebb and flow…
 
We want to feel like we were there… not just went there…
