August 30 – September 15, 2026
Best-selling cookbook author Donna-Marie Pye and fellow culinary enthusiast Maria Burjoski have been cooking and chatting about cooking for many years. Years ago, they dreamed of owning their own cooking school and sharing their passion for great food with others. Well, it’s been 15 years since that dream of owning Relish Cooking Studio became reality and what a fantastic ride it’s been!
Now it’s time to celebrate their hard work and fulfill another dream – travelling to Italy to experience the gastronomic excellence for which the country is known. Together with MP TOURS they have curated for their private guests a 15-day tour that explores three regions – Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, and the Marche. Each of these regions is a culinary powerhouse of its own and together, they represent the most iconic gastronomic treasures of Italy.
The tour begins in the Marche, with 5 nights in the city of Pesaro, then moves to Bologna in Emilia-Romagna for the next 5 nights and finishes in Turin, Piedmont for the last 5 nights. Throughout the 15-days guests will:
- Experience endless outdoor beauty from the mountains to the sea in the Marche
- Accompany our professional tartufaio on a hunt for truffles
- Explore Bologna’s charming medieval streets, lively markets, and gastronomic greatness
- Savour Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma and Modena’s coveted Balsamic Vinegar
- Wander through rice fields, taste vermouth, silky tajarin pasta, and local hazelnuts
We invite you to join us for one of our “Best Trips that You’ve Never Been On Yet”!
