This exciting tour offers a unique opportunity for travellers to explore the cultural and culinary fusion of Italy, Slovenia, and Austria through a scenic cycling journey along the Tagliemento River Valley and secondary country roads.

Friuli Venezia Giulia, located in northeastern Italy, is a border region renowned for its cultural and culinary influences from its neighbouring countries.

She is the youngest female chef to cook at the James Beard House, a winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” Season 14 in Charleston, and the first winner of Food Network’s “Tournament of Champions” in spring 2020. Her expertise will provide guests with an in-depth understanding of the regional cuisine that combines Mediterranean and Mitteleuropean influences.
