Meet your private chef in central Milan, shop an open-air market for seasonal ingredients, then cook five Italian courses in the chef’s home. Guides such as Clara and Ornella teach pasta, regional dishes, wine pairings, and dessert before lunch with wine, Prosecco, espresso, recipes, and a diploma.

Travel from Milan by Wi-Fi-equipped minivan to Bergamo’s medieval Città Alta, enjoy a three-course lunch near Lake Iseo, then tour a Franciacorta winery and taste two DOCG wines. Drivers including Nicolo, Rosè, and Claudia have led departures, though the tour is not always guided throughout.
“Nice tour of Bergamo old town, Lunch at latke Iseo and wine tasting at Franciacorta. Rose and Claudia were super good and nice. They’re caring and professional. Highly recommended.”
Travel by private air-conditioned van from Milan to Emilia-Romagna for the Ferrari Museum, Casa Enzo Ferrari Museum, Fiorano Track, factory-area tour, and a farm lunch. Your English- or Italian-speaking driver-guide handles the day, though the track visit may become a 10-minute simulator session.
“The experience visiting the museums was worth the effort. Lunch at the restaurant was not to the standard of the tour and our diver/ guide. Very disappointed with the quality of service offered at the restaurant. Staff not all hostible. The driver/ guide was excellent.”
Leave Milan from Bignami with an English-speaking driver and spend the day tasting Franciacorta at two contrasting wineries. Expect vineyard views, cellar tours, Lake Iseo scenery, a three-course lunch, and useful local guidance from drivers such as Nicolò.
“We decided to take this tour despite the lack of reviews and met our young guide, Nicolò, near the M5 metro station of Bignami. The comfortable Mercedes minivan was exclusively for us. Nicolò, a local, provided information during our hour-long drive to the Franciacorta area. Our first stop was Ronco Calino Winery, where our guide, Serena, shared fascinating details about the terroir, history, and philosophy of the winery. We toured the cellars, tasted two sparkling wines, and took photos in the vineyard. For lunch, we went to Trattoria del Muliner in Clusane on Lake Iseo’s shore, enjoying simple Italian cuisine with a three-course meal and a glass of Franciacorta. Highlights…”
