Synopsis

Avventura celebrates Italian culture and cuisine in a fun-filled road trip through the heart of a country famous for its food. Host David Rocco travels down dusty back roads and up cosmopolitan avenues meeting the people who make Italian cooking the world's best-loved cuisine.

David Rocco joins an exuberant group of locals in the forests near Spoletto on the hunt for that rare delicacy, truffles. He learns how to make antipasti in Puglia, meets the family who create what is arguably the world's best pizza, and dances all night at a harvest festival in Tuscany. Each episode of Avventura is a joyride through the most fascinating locations in Italy, finding and sharing in the most succulent of adventures.

Fuelled by curiosity -- and perhaps an excellent vintage from a local vineyard -- David's quest is to experience all that is Italy when he meets the chefs, wine makers, artist, shopkeepers and farmers who define the flavour of Italy. Sit back -- for the adventure is about to begin.
