Calabria, Italy Enogastronomy Tour

Join Chef Christophe and Josephine for a unique culinary and cultural adventure in one of Italy’s most beautiful and undiscovered regions. Explore the Coast of the Gods, indulge in authentic Calabrian cuisine, and immerse yourself in local traditions, all while being guided by two passionate experts who are dedicated to bringing the heart of Calabria to life.

Calabria, nestled at the toe of Italy’s boot, is not just a destination—it’s a family legacy for Josephine Gagliardi-Gregoire. Born to Calabrian parents, Josephine's deep connection to this enchanting region is woven through its rich traditions, history, and, of course, its incredible food. On this 11-day culinary journey, Josephine invites you to explore Calabria through the eyes of someone who knows the land intimately—its flavours, its stories, and its people.

This is more than just a tour; it's a chance to travel with someone who speaks the language, understands the culture, and holds the keys to its hidden gems. From the ancient villages of the Pollino National Park to the stunning coastal town of Tropea, you’ll be immersed in authentic Calabrian life, learning to cook with local chefs, savouring family recipes passed down through generations, and visiting places only insiders know.

Join us on a truly unique culinary adventure where food, family, and heritage come together in one unforgettable experience.
