Known the world over for its beauty, culture and produce, the Italian region of Tuscany is on many a traveler's bucket list. In a special treat for foodies, you can experience a unique inside look at Tuscany on a private culinary tour from May 6-13 with a chef who knows it well—Christopher Tung, who runs the restaurant La Barca.

A former Wall Street man, Tung left the investment banking world behind to live and work in Tuscany for seven years, gaining special knowledge of the best restaurants, markets, farms, vineyards and recipes that it has to offer.

The eight-day tour costs S$4,500 (inclusive of everything except flights) and is limited to only eight guests. The meeting point is Rome's airport and Singapore Airlines flies there three times weekly from S$1,997 return. For a full itinerary, visit their website and email to book.
