Cornell Family Business Tour for Alumni & Friends

Register

In Italy, the role of family in business cannot be mistaken. Culinary tradition, artisan skills, and operational knowledge are passed down from generation to generation. It is also a country known for some of the world’s best food, wine, and gourmet experiences. This special tour exists at the intersection of family business learning and culinary and cultural exploration. We will explore Northern Italy through the lens of family business, deepening our connection and experiences.

The journey begins in Florence with an optional pre-tour package and the first four nights are spent at a villa in the heart of Chianti, part of the Fontodi wine estate. The next two nights are spent in Parma, a historic city in foodie heaven Emilia-Romagna, and finally we’ll end with a night near Milan-Malpensa airport. If you’re a Cornell University friend or alum involved in family business, please join SFBI for this immersive trek!

Please note this tour is open to alumni, family, and friends of the SFBI. Due to the time of year, current students are excluded from registering for this tour.
