WAITSBURG - Tom and Judy Bennett brought wood-fired pizzas to Waitsburg in 2022. After buying the former American Legion Post 35 from winemaker Charles Smith, the pair has remodeled, added outdoor seating, and hosted trivia, axe-throwing, burlesque, and live bands. The couple is now adding international travel to the fun.
Partnering with The Table Less Traveled, the couple is offering a one-of-a-kind trip to southern Italy to explore Neapolitan pizza's roots. The trip is open to six to 14 travelers who will join the couple for eight days and seven nights in Naples and Sorrento from September 7 to 14.
The trip will be an immersive experience to visit wineries, meet pizzaiolos, tour farms and mozzarella cheese dairies, and enjoy in-home meals with new Italian friends.
There will be guided tours, including to Pompeii, and free time to explore. The couple will share the authentic Italian pizza process, history, and culture that inspired their love of Neopolitan pizza.
The first four days will be spent in Naples in southwest Italy on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city blends ancient traditions and modern vibrancy. It is the home of Neopolitan Pizza, which benefits from abundant fresh seafood, cheese, and farm-to-table produce.
Leaving Naples for Sorrento, the group will spend time touring Pompeii and enjoy a wine tasting at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
The second half of the trip will be spent in Sorrento on the Bay of Naples atop cliffs above the town's busy marinas.
