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.

Holiday Magic in Italy

Holiday Magic in Italy

Experience the magic of Italy in December, when the charm of Tuscany and Umbria is even more enchanting. From December 11–21, you’ll immerse yourself in a journey that blends timeless culture, seasonal traditions, and the festive spirit of the holidays. These regions are known for their rolling hills, medieval towns, world-class wines, and unforgettable cuisine—made even more special during the holiday season when piazzas sparkle with lights, nativity scenes adorn churches, and Christmas markets overflow with local crafts and delicacies.
