Enjoy eight nights in beautiful Cento and take leisurely day trips to the mountains, the plains and the Adriatic coast, all the while sampling the region’s splendid cuisine.

Savor the bounty of the sea where local fish and shellfish unique to the Adriatic are expertly prepared. These are just a few of the epicurean delights that await those who join us on this tour. Don spends two months each year in his ancestral home and is exited to showcase this region that is seldom explored by tourists. Highlights include: • Lunch and afternoon at an agriturismo • Attending a local sagra (festival) • Visit the Republic of San Marino • Enjoying seafood in Rimini • View Parmigiano Reggiano production • Experience borlenghi and tigelle in the Appenine Mountains • Tours of a Balsamic Vinegar Acetaia, the Cento Market, and cured meats facility Note: - $1899.00 per person, double occupancy - Airfare not included - Space is limited to 20: a $700.00 per person non-refundable deposit will secure your reservation • Visit Comacchio (“little Venice”) for wood grilled seafood • Cooking class in Cento For more info call 513-674-6059 or visit the cooking school website www.junglejims.com/cookingschool
