Gina & MaryGina and Mary offer culinary adventures for those that want to get off the touristy track and live like a local. We love exploring the wonderful open air markets, the extensive vineyards and cantinas, small ancient hill-top villages, all the while enjoying the local food and wine. We help you explore all aspects of the Italian table during our culinary tours and give you an insider’s view of each region we visit. Living and traveling extensively in Italy has made us experts on the foods and wines of our heritage land.

My daughter and I went to Tuscany with Gina and Mary 13 years ago and still carry that experience in our hearts. It completely changed my daughter’s view of cooking and continues to affect the way we cook on a daily basis. Thank you to the Stipo sisters! 🩷

Rolling pici pasta!!
