Fashion, food and fun on your Llxury Milan breakMilan is without a doubt Italy’s trendiest city and always on the vanguard for fashion as well as cuisine. While long dismissed by many visitors to Italy as a gray and industrial city, for fashionistas and foodies it offers a treasure trove of wonderful experiences. Milan is a city spilling over with creativity and home to cutting edge chefs, passionate sommeliers, eccentric designers and artists. There are more Michelin starred restaurants here and in greater Lombardy than any other region in Italy. And apart from some spectacular shops from all the big name Italian designers (Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Bvlgari, Versace, Zegna, Ferragamo, Armani, Cavalli, Gattinoni, Moschino, Ferre, Fendi, Pucci, Gucci, Nina Ricci, Missoni, Damiani and Bottega Veneta to name but a few!), Milan boasts a multitude of fabulous lesser-known designer’s studios, many of which we can organize private shopping tours for you in their showrooms. We have prepared this vacation for fashion loving foodies, and you can expect beautiful high design, beautiful food, beautiful clothes and if visiting during fashion week, plenty of beautiful people! Highlights of this Milan Culinary Tour include meals and aperitivos at Milan´s designer hotspots such as Dolce & Gabbana´s Gold restaurant, Roberto Cavalli´s “Just Cavalli café”, an atmospheric “moving” dinner aboard a vintage tram and fine dining at Michelin starred and elegantissimo Trussardi alla Scala (belonging to fashion house Trussardi); your own private cooking class to learn how to make Milan classics like the saffron flavored Risotto alla Milanese; and plenty of shopping! You will have your own personal shopper who will create a custom private tour for you based on your main interests (up and coming designers, established big names, jewelry, design shops, gourmet shops, vintage, homeware, unique accessories, etc). And before leaving Milan, you will also enjoy a private guided walking tour of the fashion capital’s best architectural and artistic gems from the stunning Duomo to the Royal Palace. If you love food, wine and shopping and are looking for a luxurious organized private tour, than contact us for more info! Tour Highlights:
