VENICE, VERONA & LAKE GARDA

‘Italy Beyond the Clichés’

September 13 - 20, 2024

Join us for an artistic exploration of Italy’s Veneto region on this 8-day, 7-night trip! From the heart of Venice to ‘fair Verona,’ and along the shores of the breathtaking Lake Garda, our knowledgeable, local guides will lead you to delight in iconic sites and hidden gems.

Along the way, you’ll discover generational layers of Italian artistry, float on turquoise waters, and immerse yourself in local traditions and cuisine alongside a small group of other curious women. Your days will be filled with architectural splendor, incredible craftsmanship, and the endless natural beauty of the Italian landscape.

Do you knit, crochet or hand stitch? Enjoy keeping your hands busy? Don’t forget to pack your needles! There will be ample time to craft, rest and relax with your fellow travelers in your boutique accommodations. You’ll have the opportunity to sit down with a Venetian knitter, visit farms nestled in the Lessinia Mountains and learn authentic, natural methods for wool dyeing. Crafting enthusiasm is not required; we offer alternate experiences if stitching is not your thing.

We invite you to celebrate the deep-rooted (and incredibly delicious) Italian culture and to create everlasting memories with new friends!
