To get ready for a wine and food trip though Italy you have to get informed about just anything. Architecture and artistic monuments are side by side with traditional dishes and regional wines, widening the topics of the pre-trip preparation: find the best prices, look for the places where the inhabitants go, find the best things to eat and drink and the right periods to taste them.
You can find some help in books and guides about Italian food and wine, but also surfing the web and entering into the forums about wines which give suggestions, often very useful, talking about specific places, which otherwise would be very difficult to find.
When preparing a trip it’s very useful to listen to what those who have already been in the place you wish to visit say: following the suggestions for a trip to Italy can be a good idea not to get lost in its numerous and particular traditions, which change not only from region to region, but also from a city to the other.
The Italian regional variety makes the peninsula even more interesting for a stranger, as well as for Italians: changing city or region makes Italian people discover new and different traditions, and makes every movement interesting and stimulating.

The richness of Italy is right there, in its diversity: every tradition, every story, every recipe, every ingredient which is typical of a particular place contributes, with its diversity, to build the richness of the Bel Paese. From a touristic point of view, Italy for strangers is a treasure house where you can find even more than you would have expected.
This is one of the reasons why it is important to keep the traditions alive, as well as the respect for diversity: it means keeping an attraction for strangers, who choose Italy to taste its specialities but also to see its enormous cultural diversity.
To make a complete wine and food tour of Italy a whole life could not be enough, considering that you should visit every Italian city in all the periods of the year to taste the typical specialities of every season and every month.
On the other hand, Italian cuisine is appreciated in the whole world and is recognized as one of the most tasty and surely as one of the most varied in the world – the diversity topic comes back again; as far as the Italian wines are concerned, the Bel Paese excels in that as well, with a wide offer of high quality wines.
Hence, to start organizing a wine and food trip to Italy you need to find information and choose a method: you can choose, for example, to taste all the typical dishes of a certain period in the whole Italy, or to know the different specialities which use a certain ingredient.
You can follow particular ingredients and see how they are used in the different regions: an example? Pasta, queen of the Italian gastronomy, dressed in hundreds of ways and presented in many different shapes. Knowing and tasting them all would certainly be a very long and...tasty experience.
