Mozzarella Farm Demonstration and Tasting

Mozzarella Farm Demonstration and Tasting

Creamy, mild, fresh mozzarella is synonymous with Italian cuisine and some of the finest mozzarella di bufala hails from Campania. There are multiple theories on how the water buffalo (sometimes called river buffalo) came to Italy, but references to the use of their milk in the region's notable cheeses appear as early as the 12th century. Enjoy the countryside and tour the barns as you experience a working mozzarella farm. An expert cheese maker will demonstrate how the soft cheese is produced, from ingredients to by-hand preparation methods, before a tasting session.

Itinerary

This itinerary is the starting point for your tour, but it’s not set in stone. If there are days you would like to change, or specific places you’d like to go, we can work with you to create a personalized program that fits the needs of you and your students.

Day 1: Overnight Flight

Depart from the USA.

Day 2: Sorrento

Arrive in Rome and meet your ACIS Tour Manager. Board your touring bus and drive south toward the Sorrento. Renowned for its citrus groves, the Sorrentine Peninsula separates the Gulf of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno.

Day 3: Sorrento

This morning head to Pompeii for sightseeing with a local guide. In 79 AD, nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted and covered the city in 23 feet of ash. You will see a perfect picture of life unearthed as it was nearly 2,000 years ago. Then visit a mozzarella farm, where you'll watch farmers use traditional techniques to make mozzarella, followed by a tasting session. Magnifico!

Day 4: Rome

Drive north to Rome, where you'll arrive in time to find lunch, perhaps around the Campo dei Fiori, a charming square surrounded by cafes and markets. Your exploration of the Eternal City begins with a walking tour that passes through the colorful Piazza Navona, one of the city's most impressive squares, on your way to the awe-inspiring, nearly 2,000-year-old Pantheon. Built to honor the Roman gods, the domed temple still serves as a Roman Catholic Church and is the burial spot of Renaissance painter Raphael.

Day 5: Rome

Discover Ancient Rome today with a visit inside the iconic and historic Colosseum with a local guide (and a line-avoiding timed reservation). Learn the many stories of this nearly 2,000-year-old Roman landmark that's considered one of the architectural wonders of the ancient world. Your ticket also includes entrance to the nearby Roman Forum, which once served as the city's political and social center.

Day 6: Rome

Today's panoramic drive of the city is a great lesson in the many phases of Roman history. Our local expert accompanies you through the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. The best part is that these are timed entrances, meaning you'll breeze right by the long lines facing other tourists. In the afternoon explore the city at your own pace, perhaps taking in educational attractions like the historic Musei Capitolini. Cap off your exceptional Italian adventure by practicing the fine art of the evening stroll with friends with a passeggiata romana to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

Day 7: Departure

Depart for the USA.



Optional Extensions and Extra Nights:

Further immerse yourself in the culture and wonders of la dolce vita with a two-night extension to Florence via train, including the services of your ACIS Tour Manager. Discover the Cradle of the Renaissance on a guided city sightseeing tour and a timed entrance (saving you an hour in line) to the Accademia to view Michelangelo's David.
