An east to west itinerary, to discover (and taste!) the best Northern Italian wines, visit the vineyards and explore some secret destinations. You will discover a hidden and secret wine producer in the middle of Venice Lagoon, the famous Langhe region, home of Barolo, as well as the Prosecco, Valpolicella and Franciacorta areas. This is an "off the beaten path" itinerary specifically designed for discerning wine and food lovers. To make your experience even more unique, you will sleep in some of the most famous and charming Northern Italian wine resorts (many of them host Michelin starred restaurants). Needless to say, wine tastings and visits to cellars and vineyards are included in each stop, and so are private visits to the most charming sights along the itinerary.

We believe that the best time to go to Italy is during spring (March - May) and autumn (September - November) as the temperatures are comfortable and you don't have to navigate the summer crowds. Summer is a very popular time to visit, coinciding with the european school holidays, and the tourist hot spots of Rome, Tuscany and Naples are precisely that... hot! Of course, bear in mind that Italy is a long and slender country, meaning seasons in the north vary with seasons in the south. Winter in the more southerly regions of Italy is still a pleasant time to visit, while winter in the far north of the country is cold and wet. Summer in the mountains of the north can also be very pleasant and not too hot. Speak to your local expert if you want any advice on what the weather will be like when you are planning to visit as it really does vary by region.
