2020 is a new era globally; most especially for travel. Italian Excursion has always been supportive of safe, comfortable travel and will offer nothing less as we go forward in these changing times. Part of our mission has been to support local, artisan communities who are what we deem "small producers" in their particular industry. These are standards that will not change for us either. We will however, modify our tours to ensure that guests feel secure in joining us in our adventures, staying in locales that have had few, if any contagion and using the best methods for sanitation. Our October tour has been cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions by the Italian Ministry. We have re-scheduled for the Spring. New tours: April 17-24, 2021 Living Like an Italian;
April 26-May 3, 2021 for MIndful Italy; May 14-24 for Tastes & Textiles with Sapori-e-Saperi Adventures. Would you like to wander in undiscovered Italian hill towns, study Italian cooking with an expert, visit an organic goat cheese farm, eat an authentic meal with an Italian family , harvest grapes or just wine taste, hone your artistic skills, or spend time wandering in some of Italy’s hidden gardens? Old World Italy! A time when life was a bit simpler, a lot slower and so full of promise. Do you have visions of lush, green countryside, dotted with wildflowers, vineyards and olive trees? Can you imagine the special varietals of wines paired with delightful dishes made with just- picked freshness? Italian Excursion will escort you for a week or more to the Italian countryside, off the beaten path in comfort and style. You will visit hidden iconic jewels of Italy in out of the way destinations, unique in character and atmosphere. Old World Italian life is still available when you leave the hustle and bustle of the city. We support the small artisan producers and their quest for sustainability. It is common knowledge that travel educates the mind and soul. We also believe that the sort of travel you will experience on an Italian Excursion tour is a way to peace and understanding in a more global sense. See our photo gallery for some stunning photos of past tours. Use your creative side to enjoy Italy at its best. Italian Excursion offers small group tours that are not just memorable, but full of life, creativity and authenticity. The food, wine tours, cooking classes, camaraderie, morning yoga, hidden archaeology sites and artistic treasures that Italian Excursion includes in your adventure will leave you with more than just a trip to Italy with many great photos. Give yourself the gift of travel. See what is scheduled for 2021. Due to the Global Pandemic all tours for 2020 have been canceled. We are excited to partner with Erica Jarman of Saperi & Sapori Adventures for Tastes & Textiles (Woad and Wool), tours in 2021.

Italian Excursion Vacation Features

Civita d’ Bagnoregio
The best gelato I ever had was in Tio Leo’s Trattoria in Lucca. (this trattoria may not be there after 20 years) Lemon sorbet with fresh sage leaves blended in. OMG, the best way to end a great meal. |

Cheryl Alexander has been traveling to Europe, particularly Italy, for more than 20 years . Her interest in Italy, its rich history, art and culture led her to purchase property near Orvieto, allowing her to spend more time there. Cheryl’s explorations of Italy include the regions of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio, as well as the Casentino (in less traveled Tuscany) and southeast to Puglia. Her numerous trips to Italy have resulted in many friendships with local artisans specializing in the traditions handed down to them for generations and who are generous in sharing the region’s hidden treasures with her. She continues to explore Italy's less traveled regions, and enjoys sharing her discoveries with others.
