Montreal’s Little Italy Culinary Excursion 

October 5, 2026 – October 7, 2026

For years, many  guests have joined me in Italy to experience authentic food, local culture, and unforgettable culinary experiences. This year, I’m excited to offer something a little closer to home.

Join me for an exciting  3-day culinary getaway to Montreal’s historic Little Italy.

Together we’ll explore the famous Jean-Talon Market, discover neighborhood bakeries and cafés, enjoy memorable meals, and experience Montreal through the lens of food. Along the way, I’ll share some of my favorite culinary discoveries while introducing you to the people, traditions, and flavors that make this neighborhood so special.

Unlike a traditional tour, this experience is intentionally limited to just 6 guests. The small group size allows us to enjoy Montreal at a relaxed pace while exploring bakeries, cafés, markets, and culinary destinations that larger groups often cannot accommodate.

Trip Highlights

• Jean-Talon Market exploration
• Historic Italian bakeries and pastry shops
• Chef-selected restaurants and hidden gems
• Specialty tastings and local culinary experiences
• Free time to explore Montreal at your own pace
• Boutique accommodations in the heart of Little Italy
• Transportation from Gio Culinary Studio
• Hosted throughout by Chef Gio

This trip is designed for guests who enjoy great food, authentic experiences, and traveling with a small group of fellow food enthusiasts.
