Members might pay an annual fee to access a large dining space where they can savour a delectable three-course meal with friends, plus a fully stocked kitchen and bar. Budding chefs can experiment in the kitchen and guests can have as much tea, coffee and wine as they like \u2013 if they abide by the honour system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the birthplace of the original Basque cheesecake&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Chefs eating basque cheesecake, one of the best foods in Spain and Italy - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-43444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-350x197.png 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image.png 1348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Matt Preston &amp; Gary Mehigan, Signature Series Tour hosts, at La Vi\u00f1a. Source: supplied.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the culinarily inclined, the word Basque means one thing \u2013 cheesecake. Caramelly on the outside, smooth and light on the inside, this rich, custardy delight is beloved across the globe. Make a pilgrimage to the humble seaside city of San Sebastian to this birthplace: La Vi\u00f1a, which has been dishing up its signature crustless Basque cheesecake since the 1980s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8230; and explore San Sebastian&#8217;s most beloved pintxos street<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Basque cheesecake is dessert, then pintxo is the obvious starter: bite-sized snacks that may be small in size, but are big on flavour. A Basque specialty named after the small cocktail sticks used to hold each dish together, the moreish morsels are unassuming yet masterfully packed with intricate flavours, from anchovy, olive and guindilla peppers, to breaded Manchego cheese served with quince paste. Fermin Calbeton Kalea in San Sebastian is the place to taste them all at pintxo bars, each with its own inventive creation. Eat standing up like a true Basque would for an authentic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Master the secrets of paella with a cooking class<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably the most famous Spanish cuisine is paella, and creating a richly complex dish that effortlessly melds together saffron-scented rice, seafood and salty chorizo (which is just one variation) is an artform. So why not learn how to craft it at home like a master? Across Spain, kitchens are prepped to show you how to craft the perfect dish with that coveted socarrat (crispy base layer), and usually serve a glass of wine and pintxos to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best food experiences in Italy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uncover Rome&#8217;s best bites by golf cart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman street food is usually savoured on foot or by bike, but what about by golf cart? Chauffeured in style, zip across the city to taste mouth-watering local favourites like <em>carciofi alla giudia<\/em> (crisp, deep-fried artichokes) and molten <em>suppli<\/em> (enticing mozzarella-stuffed croquettes). It wouldn\u2019t be a food escapade in Italy without a tipple, so wine, beer and even a refreshing spritz are also on the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take lunch at the most famous butcher in the world<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider yourself <em>carne<\/em> crazy? In east Tuscany is the unassuming town of Panzano in Chianti, home to legendary butcher Dario Cecchini (who you might have seen on the show <em>Chef\u2019s Table<\/em>). The eight-generation butcher redefines what it means to perfect a craft, and patrons of his shop \u2013 Antica Macelleria Cecchini \u2013\u00a0can watch him work meticulously to ensure no meat is wasted. Head into the dining room to see Dario\u2019s nose-to-tail philosophy at work with exceptional beef tartare, seared rump and bone-in ribeye, plus a surprisingly hefty vegetarian offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ristorante Cavallino, one of the best places to eat in Spain and Italy - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-43413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SS-Italy_1-Star-87.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ristorante Cavallino, Tuscany.

At Ristorante Cavallino, you\u2019ll find living pieces of history around every corner, with memorabilia and photographs of Enzo Ferrari himself adorning the walls. The menu seamlessly combines regional Emilian favourites, like aged Parmigiano Reggiano flan and <em>Cotechino alla Rossini<\/em> (pork sausage and foie gras, served with brioche, sour cherry and black truffle), with international classics like sachertorte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taste the world&#8217;s finest prosciutto in Emilia-Romagna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the word prosciutto makes you say \u2018molto bene\u2019, then a stop by the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy to sample the nation\u2019s best. Crisp mountain and sea breezes that waft through the region make it an exemplary spot for curing this antipasti classic, which Italians have been doing since the Middle Ages. Tours take prosciutto pundits through a traditional factory to learn the secrets of the curing before being treated to a decadent tasting (paired with exceptional Italian wines of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Savour each sip at a centuries-old winery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1024x574.png\" alt=\"Torre a Cona, one of the best places to eat in Spain and Italy - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-43450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-350x196.png 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2.png 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dining at Torre a Cona.

Not only has this palatial villa, now home to a luxe hotel and osteria, stood since the 18th century, but the 200 hectares of rolling hills and verdant grounds have been producing exceptional wines for just as long. A tour of the winery will take you into the ancient cellars but also the <em>vinsantaia<\/em>, a special area used to age the sweet and oh-so-caramelly dessert wine, Vin Santo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
