Italian and Wine: Italy

Rome, Milan & Florence

Students of the Italian language love this programme.  Combine your Italian language studies with wine appreciation in either Rome, Florence or Milan.  The courses have to be booked once in Italy, not in advance, but here are the details so that we can whet your appetite!

An introduction to Italian wines from across a range of regions plus wine tasting sessions and (when possible) a visit to a nearby vineyard. Elementary Italian required.
During the course there will also be the opportunity to visit a renowned wine bar.
