Small Group Tours

Picture
Countryside adventures for travellers who want to escape from crowded cities and join a small group to enjoy the hidden rural culture of Italy. Food and family are the way into this inner sanctum. If you’re also interested in fibres and textiles, you’ll find tours specially designed for you. Whatever your interests, you learn with Italian farmers and artisans who welcome you to their workshops and homes. They’re eager to exchange views and enrich their knowledge and yours. As we explore together, you'll discover the heritage of the countryside tucked away behind unmarked doors in beautiful remote places. You'll be surprised and enchanted. Dinner will never be the same again. You'll carry the experience and beauty of rural Italy home with you to enrich your own life. (Very small group: maximum 10 people; no large coaches, no guides waving umbrellas)
