Viva Italy Tours, LLC Formerly Cooking with Dawn Tours,
celebrates their 14th
anniversary as a
leader in culinary and cultural tours in
Italy.
Owners, Chef Dawn Bause, and her
husband Fred are passionate about
food and believe it is an essential part
of travel. It’s the difference between
a good trip and an amazing trip.
Twelve years ago, Dawn partnered
with a small restaurant association in
Italy. This partnership opened doors
to some of Italy’s best food and wine
adventures. It allows tour goer’s to
connect with the locals and their local
history in a very intimate way.
Dawn’s culinary training began in
Europe where she lived for five years.
She and Fred were married in Venice,
28 years ago, and soon thereafter she
co-authored the Italian food and wine
book “Romance Begins in the
Kitchen.” Romantic Italian Recipes
and their Complementary Wines.
Dawn writes monthly articles about
the Mediterranean cuisine and
believes the beauty of Italy is that it
ignites all the senses and leaves one
feeling inspired and renewed. A
,place to immerse oneself into a
beautiful way of life while enjoying
life’s true pleasures: art, food, wine
and glorious landscapes.
Life is not measured by the breaths
you take, but by the moments that take your breath
away! You have to experience Tuscany
at least once in this lifetime!

A small privately guided tour with like minded travelers will change your idea of group travel forever! This magnificent week will take place in the picturesque Italian countryside, near Radda between Florence and Siena in the heart of Chianti in Tuscany. It’s a region famous for a wealth of art, history, striking landscapes and outstanding food and wine.
Your home for the week will be at the lovingly restored 12th century Borgo San Fedele, a spectacular residence with all the comforts and furnishings of a 4 star boutique hotel. The proprietors, Nicolo and his wife Renata, and Guiseppe will be our guides for the week sharing with us their home, friends, love, and passion for this area and all it’s offerings.
It’s a beautiful itinerary with full immersion into the Tuscan way of life. We’ll be visiting a different town each day with locals whose families have been in the region for centuries. . We will visit markets, wineries, olive oil groves, and cheese makers for tastings and private tours. We’ll be wined and dined, and treated like royalty as we immerse ourselves into what the Italian’s call “La Dolce Vita” igniting all our senses and leaving us inspired and renewed!
