I'd say it would be acceptable, as Giles mentioned it really depends on the entire context, not just the sentence.

food and wine tourism
Hi Valentina,
You don't give us any context so we can't really give you a definitive answer. "Food and wine tourism" is a good general option but there are several others.
For example, some people prefer "gastrotourism" (cf "gastropubs") although it sounds a bit "medical".
--------------------------------------------------

If your context is informal, you could refocus the phrase "nella zona si puo praticare turismo enogastronomico" into something like "there is plenty in the area for food and wine tourists".

in addition to the term "enogastronomical" you´ll find also the word "oenogastronomical" which - though paying more tribute to the word´s origin - i.e.the Greek word " οίνος " for wine (in English very well known in connection with oenology) - is less frequently used.

In regard to 'gastronomic', pardon me, again. Most of the web-sites with the term 'gastronomic' I looked at , are Italian (or foreign/Spanish) websites translated into English. No wonder that they go for nice calque of the term. Please, your thought, can we once for all use 'gastronomic' as synonym for 'food-and-wine'?
