New Guidelines for our Culinary Experiences

Dear curious eaters, travelers and Italy culture enthusiasts,

When we started offering unique culinary experiences, our sincerest hopes was to bring you the best of Italy’s food culture while supporting a network of tour guides, artisans, purveyors, chefs and small businesses. We hope to start to do this again as Italy starts to slowly open its doors to visitors, but we need to do it the right way. We’ve re-designed how we do things!

Until further notice, we will be changing our culinary activities (all listed and offered on this website) as followed and should be considered as part of our Terms & Conditions:

  • We will be offering mostly small group, private experiences w/ min. private ticket buy-outs. There will limited options for group/join-in tours listed HERE

  • All guests must respect local rules regarding facial coverings, mask type requirements and possess valid proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and meet the requirements of any digital green pass needed to participate in various aspects of our activities (dining, museums, shop entry, etc). Full details may be found on our FAQ page.

  • Please contact your local consulate or official embassy websites for up-to-date information regarding travel to/within Italy

  • If you are traveling with children, please contact us if you have any questions but we’d suggest you opt for a private activity.

  • You may be asked to wear a facial covering at any point during your activity as instructed by your host or tour guide per local regulations, failure to respect their requests will result in being asked to leave the activity with no refund.

  • Private experiences require a min. purchase at a flat-rate buy out (calculated for up to 3-4 people, depending on the experience i.e. tour or lesson) and will be automatically booked out if you select the Private Tour ticket option or purchase the instructed ticket minimum

  • Cooking lessons generally require a min. ticket purchase- please read the instructions carefully on each listing

  • PRIVATE experiences will be just you and your party who have booked. This means you will have the tour all to yourself, as well as any cooking class! Vehicle-escorted wine tours vary according to supplying partner you are referred to.

  • All guests should be prepared to have a facial covering where required and sanitize/hand wash at the start of every activity and in-between tastings when directed by your activity host and any establishment you enter according to their rules.

  • If required, tastings will be served on individual serving dishes and utensils, seating will be socially distanced

  • By booking any activity, you will agree to our updated Liability Waiver Policy which holds us harmless

  • You will not be allowed to participate on any activity if you show signs of illness or have entered from a country currently experiencing high infection rates and not permitted for non-essential travel (i.e. leisure) within the European Union.

  • If you have arrived from a country in which requires you to partake in a mandatory quarantine, we may ask for documents proving you have passed the mandatory quarantine period before participating in any of our experiences.

  • For information regarding our updated cancellation policy guidelines, please consult our Terms & Conditions page.

Thank you,

The team at Curious Appetite Travel
