  Italy
continues to rank as the worlds #1 chosen tourist destination
and we’ve made this
trip extra special.
No other country is as enchanting or enriching with its old world charm,
art treasures, fine cuisine and historic sights. Our focus
again is in timeless Tuscany where we’re surrounded by olive groves,
villas, castles, mineral spas, vineyards and tiny medieval villages. Tuscans celebrate the
autumn grape harvest with passion and there are only 14 days per year in
which to collect the grapes. You will enjoy an agro-tourism day at San Donato farm collecting and smashing your
own grapes! Then it’s time for
gourmet cuisine and wine tastings.
We unpack
only
once in the resort town of Montecatini. From there we hub & spoke for
day tours to charming San Gimignano, the art capital of Florence, Pisa
and medieval Siena. This year we've added Cinque Terre by the sea where
the Italians vacation. By train and boats we’ll tour the scenic
cliffs-side of Manarola, Vernazza and Monterosso.
Join
us Under the Tuscan Sun for this unique "Grape Escape." It's a
beautiful region restore your mind and body. The history, art,
culture and fun can seduce anyone with la dolce vita.
