The girls are back in town! After the fun we had in 2025 on our first-ever women-only food, wine and culture tour, we’ve decided to make it an annual trip, this time moving south to the offbeat island of Ischia and the stunning Amalfi Coast.
Sorry guys! Women traveling with us will get off the beaten track to discover culture-rich smaller places. Ischia, an island off the coast from Naples, boasts natural thermal spas, beach clubs and one of my all-time favorite lunch spots perched precariously over waves crashing huge rocks.
We’ll start in Naples and move on to four days in Ischia and then four more days on the Amalfi Coast, headquartered at a hotel looking out on the sea and towering mountains. We’ll enjoy private dinners and smaller accommodations that give us both privacy and relaxing places to unwind together.
Our experience will provide women a way to connect with the land, the culture, and the history of Italy, and also bond with each other -- making for a truly memorable visit.
