Beatles in Italy 1965

The Beatles first arrived in Italy in the summer of 1965 with a little help from their friends. They played in three cities Milan, Genoa and Rome. Paul McCartney returned to Milan in 2011 to a country that embraced him with open arms. Wanting to do the same he began his "On the Run" Tour with a few words in Italian saying "e bello essere ancora qua" (it is nice to be here again).

Grab 6 of your best friends or family members and travel to Milan, Tuscany and the Bolognese Hills to see and savor the Italy of our Italian family and friends. You'll be part of a taste and travel road trip with the author of Seeing and Savoring Italy - A Taste and Travel Journey through Northern Italy, Tuscany and Umbria.

 

You'll experience the sights, sounds, tastes and stunning colors of Italy in autumn as you Walk into a Postcard to visit unique and memorable places and sit At the Table with regional wines and local food that you've prepared at a Cositutti selected cooking school in Emilia Romagna. Along the way you'll see castles, soak in an Italian terme (hot springs), visit ancient Etruscan ruins, shop fashionable Milan and an ancient Florentine farmacia for a breath of the Renaissance. We'll also visit wine and olive orchards and an Italian caseifico (dairy) and if you like we can arrange for you to drive a Ferrari and golf Italy's "stairway to heaven" and there's more . . .

 

Accommodations reflect the true Italian traveling experience, staying in a country house in the Bolognese Hills, motor hotels along the road, Italian apartamenti and a boutique hotel in an evocative medieval village off the tourist radar.

 

This offer is only available to groups of 6 and includes 10 days   to see and savor Italy on a fully escorted trip with all accommodations, arranged meals, transportation costs in country, a cooking class, wine and olive orchard tour, a tour of a medieval castle and arranged pick up at Malpensa Airport in Milan, Italy for tour departure* .

 

You'll have time together and time alone to discover an Italy that is way beyond a "show and tell tour".

Refosco Red Wine Vinegar

Refosco Red Wine Vinegar
Bilingual Italian. Made in the village of Piran (Pirano), the region may geographically lie in Slovenia but just by a blink. Across the sea lies Trieste and Northern Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and Piran, once ruled by Venice, seems to have taken a piece of Italy with it.

A red wine vinegar with the color, body and flavor of Refosco wine (a native Friulian variety). Refosco Red Wine Vinegaris an ideal choice for marinades, deglazing roasted meats and wine based salad dressings.A perfect accent for smoky, sweet spicy cuisines. Naturally unfiltered.

 
"artisan products are not about a buying expense but about acquiring a product that would never exist if not for the passion and commitment of the producer and their concern for sustainability"
