Notes

The programme may undergo minor changes in the timings.

If you add the car+driver supplement from a specific town, you will be picked up at your hotel downtown. If you're staying out of town, you may be asked to pay a further supplement.

If you choose the car+driver supplement, the guide will decide whether to join you on board or drive in their own car. If you self-drive, the guide drives their own car in front of you and you follow according to the itinerary.

Lunch can be arranged at a local restaurant, the Culatello producer, or an agriturismo, depending on availability.

Being artisanal and not industrial products, the working cycle is not repeated every day at the same time. It is not guaranteed to see craftsmen at work at each site.

Our drivers are not driver-guides - this kind of professional profile is forbidden by Italian law.
