Join us for a panoramic, historical, cultural, and culinary odyssey that engages your senses as it reveals unique and largely untouristed corners of Italy that are superbly rich in contrasts and deliciously diverse in flavors.
Together you will travel through the wonders of the historic regions of Campania, Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, and Puglia along a route that takes you from magnificent cities to endless, sandy beaches and from rugged coastline and countryside to picturesque towns and ancient ruins.
This spectacular journey takes you on a panoramic, historical, cultural, and epicurean odyssey from France to Spain as it traverses the unique corner of Europe known as the Basque Country. Along the way, you explore remarkable historic sites, enjoy wine tastings and cooking classes, and have opportunities to go off the beaten path to see places that most tourists never get to. We certainly hope you will join us for this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
As you cross this fascinating region, you will marvel at its breathtaking vistas, participate in its traditional celebrations, taste its remarkable foods, savor its succulent wines, and meet its passionate inhabitants who call this land their home.
