TOUR DESCRIPTION
Step into the heart of Northern Italy on an unforgettable journey where sparkling lakes, elegant palaces, and rolling vineyard hills tell stories centuries in the making. From the shimmering shores of Lake Garda to the gastronomic heart of Piedmont, this carefully crafted itinerary blends beauty, culture, and indulgence at every turn.
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome in Venice before heading to Verona, the city of timeless romance. On Lake Garda, let the sunset wash the sky in shades of pink and gold as you cruise past medieval towns and cypress-studded shores. In Sirmione, you’ll have time to linger, wander cobblestoned streets, and savor la dolce vita at your own pace. Soon after, glide across the waters of Lake Como aboard a Venetian-style boat, pausing at the exquisite Villa Balbianello – a scene straight out of a fairytale.
Italy’s sparkling soul awaits in Franciacorta, where you’ll sip the country’s finest bubbles against a backdrop of vineyard-draped hills. At day’s end, retreat to the grandeur of an 18th-century palace, where history whispers from every gilded ceiling and frescoed wall.
The final chapter of your journey takes you deep into Piedmont, a region where culinary tradition and wine culture reach their zenith. Over three nights in the UNESCO-listed Langhe hills, you’ll taste world-renowned Barolo wines, join expert hunters and their dogs in search of Italy’s most prized white truffles, and uncover centuries of history inside a local castle. A hands-on Piemontese cooking class ensures you take home not only memories but also flavors to recreate.
This 12-day itinerary is more than a tour – it’s an immersion into Northern Italy’s soul. It combines the romance of the lakes, the elegance of historic palaces, and the irresistible flavors of Piedmont. With every boat ride, wine glass raised, and dish prepared, you’ll be writing your own love letter to Italy.
