Join us for a week of using your senses to the fullest by experiencing Italy as the Italians do through fresh, local food ingredients and unique wines of the region. Living in one beautiful place for the week, unpacking just once, will afford you the experience of "living like an Italian", at a slow, relaxed pace that enhances all the senses. You will get to know your neighborhood and your neighbors, for Italians are warm, friendly and engaging.
The focus of our two annual tours is relaxation and a "time out" for experiencing the best food and wine in the region! Changing our environment can often give us a better sense of perspective so this week will be about just exploring Umbria and its surrounding regions, its wines, food and culture with the most beautiful of scenes surrounding us in a slow, relaxed manner. These two seasons are quieter than summer, with temperate weather. You will be steeped in the antiquity of this ancient region visiting archeological sites, art centers, wineries, have a cooking lesson and more. Give yourself a gift of rejuvenation and return to you your life with fresh eyes!

Feedback from Travelers

Jamie, Nevada….” I know I need more time to put it all in prospective but I will say that the hill towns where we toured was the best part of my adventure. Thank you so much, Italian Excursion and Cheryl. You gave us the freedom to explore while creating a feeling of comfort and support.”
Janet, San Diego…….“Traveling with Cheryl and Alison was not just an interesting, informative experience, but fun, easy and comfortable. Our family reunion was better than we could have imagined. The food and wine experiences were fabulous; the historical sites were amazing. And the artisan workshops we visited gave us a true appreciation of the heritage passed from generation to generation. We plan to do it again with Italian Excursion.” |
Cindy and Michael, San Francisco…….“We really liked this way of traveling with a small group, to less traveled places in Italy. No rushing or waiting in lines, no crowds to contend with and some great new places we wouldn’t have found on our own. It felt as though we became part of the little village we stayed in.”
Tina and John, Toronto Canada…….“” We so enjoyed the intimacy of the small group; the comfort and varied itinerary; the knowledge of the art and cultures of Italy. We got to know some of the people who lived in the little village even though we couldn't speak each other's languages. It didn't matter as it was just a genuine connection with very nice people. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!”” |
Anne, San Diego….“Cheryl was a super host from the time she picked us up as we arrived in Italy till she dropped us off at the end of the week. She always consulted the group as she planned each day’s activities, respectful of pacing and choosing daily itineraries she thought we would like. She was organized, and warm and welcoming, without doing more than we wanted or needed. There was also plenty of free time to lounge, enjoying the scenery and weather, or to read, if we chose to have some time alone. We enjoyed every minute of our stay with Cheryl, and her love of Italy was apparent throughout.”
