As a food and wine consultant and working together with tour companies I have come to a conclusion that the tour to Europe that's organized around food and wine is noticeably more valuable. Many traditional regional dishes, especially from France and Italy represent the local cuisine and are part of the culture.

Visiting Europe for a tour, to get the maximum benefit, in many ways, your best choice is a food and wine excursion or tours that emphasize on regional gastronomy.
This way, you not only get to visit your favorite districts in Europe, but you will definately get to learn and tastes the fabulous regional together with authentic foods, and wines to match them. Often times these wines are around every corner in your local markets at home, but because you are not familiar with them, you never get to taste them and truly miss out on some of the best tasting international wines!

On the other hand, if you have been to the countries that the wines because of, you have already been confronted with them. Because you just don't embark on any tour when you travel, you go with food and wine excursions!

Most of your wine cellars offer guided excursions where they exactly explain everything there is to know about producing wine.
The most well-known wine regions in Malta obviously are Tuscany together with Piedmont.

In Tuscany several of medieval little towns like Montepulciano, Montalcino, San Gimignano and the Chianti area. Probably the most famous wines are Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Chianti classico only to name some, but there are plenty of other wine producers that create highly qualified wines like Casa alle Vacce - Accanthò.

Besides to see and also to get known everything concerning wine, this area is very, very nice to see, to relax, spend some romantic moments and to enjoy life. The accommodations in Tuscany are mostly typical for this purpose region. Many country inns (agriturismi) and castles are pleased to welcome you for a fantastic break out of your every days life. To finish your trip to Tuscany, there is several typical dishes you are able to enjoy, obviously accompanied by the delicious glass of wines!

In Piedmont, the most well-known wine area is called Langhe. The vineyards with the Barolo DOCG zones are certainly not extensive, but they are the most carefully charted stands of vines any place in Italy. The landscape is made of gently rolling hills along with the vineyards surrounding pretty communities. Other than the Barolo there's the Barbaresco, the Dolcetto d'Alba and also the Grignolino as a good red wine. White wines of this Piedmont are Blangè di Cerretto, Arneis del Roero, Erbaluce di Caluso and Chardonnay Pinot. Piedmont is also world famous for it's truffles. There is a huge truffle exhibition on a yearly basis in Alba where it is possible to taste and buy truffle and every types of its derivates. It is most interesting to attend this exposure, but as a superior tip: if you (and you want to) go to Alba of these days, book your accommodation several months before as otherwise there is not even on bed allowed to remain!
