Nothing says a relaxing family reunion quite like an adventure along the Liguria coast. The fishermen of the family can enjoy time in one of Cinque Terre’s five charming fishing villages, while those looking to sit back and relax can drink a glass of local wine while enjoying the views. The colorful homes that make up the villages are located on cliffs that grace the edge of the Northern Mediterranean, setting a picturesque photo opportunity for your family photo.

Come together with your closest family members over an elegant dinner consisting of exquisite Italian wines and entrees made of the finest seafood caught fresh from the Mediterranean. From land to sea, excursions of your choice can be added to your package to round out this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Culinary Interest Groups
For traveling wine clubs and culinary groups, there is absolutely no comparison to a food and wine-filled adventure through Italy, the home of handcrafted wines and palate-pleasing traditional Italian cuisine.
From Tuscany to Piedmont, to Veneto there are so many regions of Italy that cater to the wine enthusiast. Some of the most well-known wineries in the world call these regions home, and the drink they create is nothing short of magnificent. Guests can choose to customize their itinerary to include hands-on activities such as touring historic, rustic wine cellars and learning the art of Italian wine-making. Imagine hand-picking grapes on a sweeping Italian vineyard while the Fall breeze gently blows. Talk about a memory to cherish! For those looking for a five-star experience, wineries also offer informative tastings of some of the most enchanting wines in the world, paired with the tastiest regional appetizers to perfectly accompany each glass.
Foodies will delight in experiencing the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, which is a must-see for those wanting to try true, traditional Italian food. Immerse your group into the rich tradition of ancient Italian pasta-making in Bologna. Italian artisans still hand-make tortellini and ravioli in the ways of ancient traditions that can only be learned by passing them down from generation to generation. Or make a stop in Modena, home of the highest quality balsamic vinegar in the world, and one of only two locations in the world capable of making true balsamic (the other one being the nearby town of Reggio Emilia). Tour the factories and learn the step-by-step process of making the vinegar, followed by tastings that show your group how best to pair it with certain foods. Even take in Parma, home of fresh cured prosciutto and delectable Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Trips 2 Italy can work with you to create an itinerary filled with all the wine and food experiences that appeal to your specific group.
Art & History Clubs
For history buffs and art enthusiasts, a group trip to Naples would offer a wealth of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The Sansevero Chapel in Naples is home to the Veiled Christ statue, cited by art aficionados and the history books as one of the most impressive and historic works of art in the world. Your group can visit Uffizi, a world-class museum housing Boticelli’s Venus and other notable Renaissance masterpieces. Other museums include Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air style museum that houses incredible sculptures.
In addition to the historic pieces of art housed within Italy’s borders, some of the most impressive and impactful architecture belongs to the Italian people.

Italy houses the heart of Catholicism–the Vatican–and for many Catholics, seeing it in person can be a life-affirming and moving experience. Travel to Assisi, home of St. Francis, one of Italy’s patron saints. You and your group can travel Assisi’s rolling hills to take in the mesmerizing views and see first-hand the burial place of St. Francis himself. As a predominantly Catholic nation, almost every city and region of Italy offers something that would interest those looking for a unique religious experience. From staggering cathedrals to small village churches, spiritual travelers will feel the ancient religious presence all throughout Italy.
