Does anyone know if there is a multi-day tour of Northern Italy, like Piedmont or the Lake District, that offers a good dinner experience? Usually the tours I find include cooking classes to truffle hunting and that's not what we want on a vacation.. I want to go on a regular sightseeing tour but I am not interested in instruction or winery visits, just a nicely prepared dinner from these delicious regions at the end of the day. We would prefer to avoid Venice or Florence since we were there last year. Thanks.

Italy is plenty of good restaurants, but usually a gastronomic tour is made mainly for who love to see even how food and things are prepared. So there are food producer visits and similar things, on top of course of main sightseeing and monuments. Often the dinner during tours is left free, to allow the tourists to discover by themselves the places and dishes they prefer.
My suggestion is to join a normal tour and ask to the community for each city you will the suggested restaurants with traditional local food.
