Get ready for Dolce Far Niente!

The kind of "nothing" we'll be doing includes wandering through medieval villages, eating delicious food and sampling wines and cheeses from the region. You'll enjoy this a whole lot more if you leave your work and worries behind!

If you're not traveling with us on this group adventure, you can still use this information to plan an awesome trip for yourself!
Begin your preparation for that here!
