This sojourn reveals unique and largely untouristed parts of Italy that are superbly rich in contrasts and deliciously diverse in flavors—from magnificent cities to endless, sandy beaches, and from rugged coastline and countryside to picturesque towns and ancient ruins. Together we will journey south from Rome, making a gigantic loop through the southern half of the Italian peninsula. Along the way, we will explore art and history and enjoy breathtaking scenery as we encounter spectacular monuments from the past. Most especially, we will discover the amazing culinary offerings and superb wines of each region we visit, enjoying plenty of time to savor these delights in the most idyllic settings.
