Our journey to the northwestern corner of Italy takes us to places not frequented by tourists. This is a land of breathtaking natural beauty and long, complex histories. It is a place of grand wines and those more humble, with rich and complex cuisine, memorable architectural, and cultural landmarks.

Upcoming Dates:

7 to 14 September, 2025

We begin and end in Milan. Over the eight days and seven nights between, we travel from the shores of Lago Maggiore to the noble city of Turin and from the vineyards of Carema to the highest point on the European continent, Mont Blanc. We visit cheese caves and wine cellars, have home-cooked meals with the producers, and dine at the tables of Michelin-starred chefs. We experience world-renowned collections of antiquities as well as modern and contemporary art and stroll the streets of both lesser-known villages and noble cities. Along the way there will be time for hiking and for moments of relaxation and recovery.
