You dream of Italy.
We make it real.
Small groups, big experiences.
Enjoy the best of Italy: food, wine and culture at a relaxed pace.
Where do you want to go?
Join a small group or let us design a custom trip for you. Explore the best of Italy, away from the overcrowded tourist destinations, using our 20+ years experience.
Join a group tour
We’re passionate about Italy — and want to share its most distinctive qualities with you in small groups each spring and fall that get away from overtoured cities to small towns, coastal villages and authentic local connections.
-
You choose from any of our spring and fall tours, make a deposit to hold your spot, and we take care of the rest!
-
Our small-group approach means space is limited. Trips sell out many months in advance. Plan ahead to secure your place—and get early-bird pricing.
-
Big group tours are cheap, but our wine and culinary journeys to Italy are unlike any ordinary vacation—designed for travelers who crave authentic flavors, breathtaking landscapes, and meaningful local connections.
Choose a custom trip
Check out 9 ready-made itineraries perfect for 6 or more family members, friends or colleagues who feel comfortable traveling together in affordable, custom-designed journeys to discover the true tastes of Italy. Then go anytime!
-
Choose to travel any dates you want from this array of carefully planned, unforgettable experiences at a great value.
-
By getting in early, you’ll have exclusive access to our most sought-after regions, hidden wine estates, family-run kitchens, and once-in-a-lifetime dining moments — far beyond what the average tourist sees.
-
Though we don’t guide your trip as we do on group tours, we make it easy for you, arranging all details so your trip is worry-free.
You’ll work directly with our owner Cathy, whose well-established and growing network of Italian associates and friends help her tap a wealth of knowledge, connections and experiences in Italian culture, cuisine and travel. Learn more about Cathy.
