• Members of the media are invited to schedule interviews with Chef Feker and follow his social media for live updates from Italy.

As this year’s tour gets underway, Chef Feker is also building excitement for his newly announced 2026 tour: Campania, Italy.

For the past six years, Chef Feker’s tours have redefined what it means to experience Italy, blending insider access to food, wine and culture with carefully curated itineraries. Partnering with Travel Leaders, he has created a series of popular tours that attract travelers who seek authenticity and connection beyond standard sightseeing.

The 2025 experience includes the complete buyout of the historic San Gregorio Hotel in Pienza—once an opera house—where guests will unpack once and live like locals. Each day begins with a chef-curated breakfast before exploring towns including Montepulciano, Volterra, Florence, Chianti and Cortona. Exclusive tastings, private lunches and guided walks provide a rare opportunity to savor Italy at a slower, richer pace.

“My years of leading guests through Italy has shown me that what travelers want most is authenticity,” Chef Feker said. “My tours are designed for people who want to taste tradition, meet the makers and feel a true connection to place.”

Looking ahead, Chef Feker has revealed that his 2026 tour will take travelers to Campania, home to Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and some of Italy’s most iconic culinary traditions. More details of this journey will be announced soon, with demand already building. For more information, contact Chef Feker’s personal assistant, Jasmine, Monday through Friday at 414-443-1414.
