COURSE OUTLINE

Italy can be the most confusing wine country to get to know, with its enormous diversity of wine styles. But it is worth spending a little time to understand it and the discoveries repay the effort involved.

We will wander through the north of the country, from the NW (Piedmont) to the NE (Veneto), through Tuscany and the Marches to the warm south (Puglia, Campania, & Sicily). You will experience first hand the amazing range of grape varieties and flavours that Italy has to offer and taste some classic Italian wines along with some from new-wave winemakers.

- North & North West: Piemonte, Trentino Alto-Adige, Lombardy
- North-East & East: Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche
- Central Italy: Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo
- South & Islands: Campania, Puglia, Sicily, Sardinia
