Tasty Trentino



Meandering with a Michelin-Starred Chef


 

The Italian province of Trentino was annexed by Italy in 1919, and maintains many aspects of its former Austrian character. Trentino is geographically stunning: it is almost entirely mountainous with many gorgeous valleys, several of which we will explore during our nine day stay.
"Tasty Trentino" is so named because of the strong emphasis Adagio Travel places upon the food and beverages produced here. The Trentini have practiced sustainable agriculture for centuries, long before it became a buzzword in the United States. Accompanied by a young and energetic Michelin-starred chef, we will spend each day exploring different aspects of traditional farming, as well as natural production of beer, wine and spirits. Meals will be centered around tasting these delicious raw materials, and learning how they are transformed into familiar and less familiar products. Our chefs include three of the area's top professionals, as well as several very talented "home chefs".

We will spend evenings resting in a gloriously simple inn, refreshing our bodies with unpolluted air and peaceful surroundings. Many consider summer the ideal time to visit the Trentino, as temperatures are moderate and rainfall is rare.  We will also spend a day taking in the art and culture of the region's capital, Trento.

A final aspect of the trip will be observing how local governments in Trentino exercise their large degree of autonomy in the areas of health, education and welfare. Trentino's "autonomous" status is unusual in Italy, which typically exercises strong central control over its regions.
