Olive Garden Culinary Tour of Italy Sweepstakes (closed)

As most of my friends and family already know, I’m a die hard Italian food fan. I live and breathe for the complex flavors and sweet aroma of Italian dishes. You most likely already know that Olive Garden is my absolute favorite restaurant. The dishes are always prepared fresh, with high quality ingredients and a flavor that can’t be found anywhere else. For those very reasons, I’m excited to share a sweepstakes being hosted by Olive Garden that will give some very lucky Italian fans the opportunity of a life time!
