DAY-TO-DAY ITINERARY
Expand All Days
PRINT ALL
* Day 1
Depart U.S.
You depart today on your overnight flight from the U.S. to Milan, Italy.
* Day 2
Arrive Milan, Italy • Transfer to Lecco
Destination: Lecco
Accommodations: Hotel NH Lecco Pontevecchio or similar
Morning: You'll arrive in Milan sometime this morning. An O.A.T.
representative will meet you at the airport and assist with your transfer to
the hotel in Lecco.
Afternoon: After checking in, you’ll have some time to settle into your room
and unpack, or begin getting acquainted with Lecco on your own. Your Trip
Experience Leader will lead orientation walks throughout the day to
accommodate the varied flight schedules.
We'll be joined this afternoon by travelers who took our optional Italian
Riviera, Genoa & the Cinque Terre or The Swiss Alps: Lucerne, Bern & Zermatt
pre-trip extension and those who arrived early in Lecco before their main
adventure. Later, we'll gather as a small group for the first time in the
hotel for a welcome aperitif.
Dinner: On your own. Your Trip Experience Leader will be happy to share their
recommendations, if you’d like. The food in Lecco is heavily influenced by
its geographic location and landscape. In fact, one of the most traditional
dishes is risotto with perch fillets, fresh from Lake Como.
Evening: The remainder of the day is on your own—you can either rest in your
room after your flight to prepare for tomorrow’s discoveries or head out to
begin getting acquainted with the city. You can always ask your Trip
Experience Leader for recommendations on things to do in the area.
* Day 3
Explore Lecco
Destination: Lecco
Meals included: B D
Accommodations: Hotel NH Lecco Pontevecchio
Piazza XX Settembre, Lecco, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: We’ll meet with our Trip Experience Leader for a Welcome Briefing in
the hotel. Then, we'll set off with our Trip Experience Leader on a 1-hour
discovery walk of Lecco. Home to just under 50,000 inhabitants, Lecco sits
about 30 miles north of Milan, on the peaceful, gently winding shoreline
where Lake Como flows into the Adda River. A respite from the hustle and
bustle of the more touristic locations in the region, Lecco features
architectural landmarks such as the Torre Viscontea, a 14th-century medieval
tower, as well as the Teatro della Società, a neoclassical work of art. In
ages past, the dominant industry here was iron and silk production; now,
however, Lecco's involvement in manufacturing is minor.
Lunch: On your own. Perhaps you'll try regional specialties like Milanese
risotto, various puff cheese pastries, and pizzette (miniature pizzas).
Afternoon: Your afternoon is free to explore Lecco at your own pace. Perhaps
you'd like to rent a bike and cycle along the River Adda, or take a cable car
ride to Piani d'Erna, a nearby mountain offering picturesque views of the
region. If you'd like, you may join your Trip Experience Leader for a visit
to one of the charming lakeside towns of the area, traveling via public
transportation.
Dinner: Enjoy a Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant, featuring authentic
regional fare.
Evening: You are free to return to your room to rest before your explorations
tomorrow. Or, if you’d prefer, take in the tranquil shoreline with a moonlit
stroll.
* Day 4
Explore Milan
Destination: Lecco
Meals included: B D
Accommodations: Hotel NH Lecco Pontevecchio
The Duomo, Milan, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today's explorations will take us to the elegant city of Milan.
Here, we'll meet with a local guide and set off on a 1-hour walking tour
through the city’s historic center. The capital of Lombardy and Italy’s
second largest city, Milan was an important trading center for more than two
millennia, and once served as the capital of the western half of the Roman
Empire. Today, it’s a vibrant, fashion-conscious metropolis with a population
of 1.3 million. Our discoveries include a stroll through the Galleria
Vittorio Emanuele II, which connects both the Teatro La Scala and the Duomo
di Milano, Milan’s striking Gothic cathedral. One of the world’s largest
churches (it can seat 10,000), the white-marble Duomo covers an entire city
block and has some 3,200 statues and 135 spires adorning its extravagant
façade—more than any other building in the world.
We'll have a chance to marvel at the Duomo's magnificent interiors as well,
as our tour continues inside. Gazing upward, you'll witness statues clinging
to massive and the technicolor glow of soaring stained glass windows. Look
down, and you might discover your Zodiac sign hidden within the ornate
patterns of the cathedral's marble floors.
Lunch: On your own. Your Trip Experience Leader will provide recommendations
based on their favorite local spots. Meat eaters might enjoy seeking out
ossobucco, a veal dish that's a specialty in the city.
Afternoon: You'll have some time to explore Milan independently before
returning to Lecco. The rest of the day is yours to do as you wish.
Dinner: At a local restaurant.
Evening: Free. In the mood for something sweet? Stop for a gelato after
dinner.
* Day 5
Explore Varenna • Transfer to Tirano
Destination: Tirano

Smart Travels with Rudy Maxa: Milan and Lake Como
Recommended Video : Smart Travels with Rudy Maxa: Milan and Lake Como
Produced by Small World Productions
Join Emmy Award winner Rudy Maxa on a journey through Italy’s stunning
Lombardy region.
26:29
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today we drive to Bellano, where we'll board a train for Varenna, a
fishing village nestled along Lake Como. We'll head right down to the
waterfront area for a stroll along the Walk of Lovers, a pedestrian footpath
renowned for its views of the lake, village, and surrounding mountains. This
red-fenced promenade is dotted with steep alleys and quaint corners,
attracting local and international couples from around the world.
Following our walk, you'll have some time to explore on your own. You may
choose to accompany your Trip Experience Leader on an elective hike to Villa
Monastero, an ornate villa situated on the eastern shores of Lake Como.
Originally a Cistercian convent, this eclectic residence features a botanical
garden, museum, and convention center. Alternatively, you may wish to visit
Castel Vezio. Constructed in the early twelfth century, the castle was once
connected by walls to Varenna and served as a military outpost. The structure
features a series of gardens, dungeons, and a prominent tower topped with
square merlons. Inside the castle, you'll find a permanent exhibition about
the Lariosauraus, an extinct sea reptile named after the lake.
Lunch: At a local restaurant.
Afternoon: We’ll then walk back to the train station and transfer to Bellano,
where we'll board a bus for Tirano, arriving in the mid-afternoon. After we
check in to our hotel, you’ll have a couple of hours of free time to relax or
perhaps to begin exploring the city center of Tirano on your own. Later,
we'll gather at the hotel lobby for a short orientation walk with our Trip
Experience Leader.
Dinner: On your own. Check with your Trip Experience Leader for restaurant
suggestions.
Evening: You have the freedom to spend the rest of your evening as you wish,
whether you want to retire to your room to rest before tomorrow’s discoveries
or take an evening stroll around the town.
* Day 6
Experience A Day in the Life in the Valtellina Valley
Destination: Tirano
Meals included: B L
Accommodations: Hotel Centrale Tirano or similar
Valtellina Valley, Lombardy, Italy
Activity Note: Depending on departure, some groups will spend A Day in the
Life on a farm in Castello dell’ Acqua, Borgo Baruffini, or Teglio.
Activities will be comparable to those detailed below.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today we experience the region’s scenic splendor during our NEW A
Day in the Life in the Valtellina Valley. O.A.T. is the only travel company
featuring cultural discoveries like these in the Alpine region of Italy. Set
in the Alps near the Swiss border, the valley is renowned for its natural
beauty, local wines, and regional cuisine. Blanketed in orchards and terraced
vineyards, Valtellina boasts winemaking traditions that pre-date even the
ancient Romans.
To reach out destination, we'll drive through the valley past quaint mountain
villages. Traditionally, these mountain village were formed by 26 small
hamlets (8-10 farmers’ houses and a small church) and locals made their
living with agriculture and cheese-making. In the 1960s and 1970s most of
these villages were abandoned and their inhabitants moved to the valley, but
a few “pioneers” have started returning to their former family properties,
and restarting the businesses of things like cheese-making, organic
wine-producing, and organic eggs and vegetable farming. This has had a
positive impact on the area as more and more people work to keep the villages
and organic products of the Alpine region alive.
When we arrive, we'll meet with a local in whichever hamlet we are spending
the day—Castello dell’ Acqua, Borgo Baruffini, or Teglio. Then, we'll walk to
a local farm, where we'll learn about the history of the family who owns it
and what types of products they produce. We'll also help prepare a selection
of regional dishes for lunch.
Lunch: We'll sit down for a lunch consisting of the dishes we helped to
prepare. We'll dine much like the hardworking farmers do—on a buckwheat pasta
known as pizzocheri, or on taroz, a typical farmer's lunch of local salami
and cheese and a glass of milk or wine.
Afternoon: After we eat, we'll bid our hosts farewell and return to Tirano,
where the remainder of the afternoon is free to explore independently or
relax at the hotel. Perhaps you'll walk around the surrounding countryside,
taking in the beauty of the terraced vineyards. Or, you can consult with your
Trip Experience Leader for ideas.
Dinner: On your own.
Evening: You are free to spend the remainder of the evening as you wish.
* Day 7
Bernina Red Train to Switzerland • Home-Hosted Dinner
Destination: Tirano
Meals included: B L D
Accommodations: Hotel Centrale Tirano or similar
Bernina Express Train, Graubunden, Switzerland
Activity Note: Please bring your passport with you for today’s discoveries,
as we cross the border into Switzerland. On our cable car journey today, we
will reach altitudes of almost 10,000 feet. We recommend travelers stay
hydrated and eat a light lunch to help adjust to the high altitude.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: We set off today for a full-day excursion across the Alps and into
Switzerland. At the nearby Tirano train station, we'll meet a local guide who
will accompany us as we board the local Bernina Express Train. One of the few
rail journeys designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bernina Express
Train is not just the world’s highest Alpine crossing (reaching an altitude
of 7,400 feet), but also the steepest, with gradients up to 7%. Panoramic
views from the train allow us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the unfolding
Alpine scenery as we travel over bridges and viaducts, through tunnels, and
past glaciers, villages, alpine meadows, and vineyards.
After crossing the border into Switzerland, we’ll disembark the train at the
Diavolezza station for a cable car ride that will transport us farther up the
Alps. Reaching an altitude of almost 10,000 feet, we can enjoy what is
considered the best vantage point for panoramic views of the snow-cloaked
mountains and glaciers.
Lunch: We'll stop at a sheltered hut high in the Alps for a light lunch.
Afternoon: Another cable car ride will bring us back down to terra firma at
the train station in Diavolezza, where we'll catch the Bernina Express Train
back to Tirano. Our return journey will feature the same views we saw this
morning—sit back and enjoy the ride. Back in Tirano, enjoy a few hours of
free time to do as you'd like.
We'll regroup in the lobby of our hotel for one of the highlights of our
northern Italy adventure: a Home-Hosted Dinner with a local family. When we
meet the families at the hotel, we'll break up into smaller groups and then
either drive or walk to one of their homes. This is a unique opportunity to
learn more about life in the region—so come hungry for your home-cooked meal,
and bring plenty of questions for your generous hosts.
Dinner: In the home of a local family, which may either be a house or
apartment. Learn about life in the Alps from these residents, and watch as
they prepare an authentic dinner. Each family has a different background and
some may even grow a number of ingredients used in tonight's meal in their
own gardens. Our meal this evening will consist of typical Valtellinese
dishes using seasonal products, and the family will sit down with us to savor
it. You can be sure there will be wine and a traditional dessert. Locals also
often mark the end of a meal with a glass of braulio, a digestif made with
medicinal herbs, fruits, roots and berries.
We’re afforded this special privilege by our small group size, which gives us
the chance to enter local homes and connect on a one-to-one level, and to
even share a little with our hosts about who we are and what has brought us
to Italy. This will be a great opportunity to ask them about life in Tirano,
any customs they practice, and more.
Evening: Return to the hotel after dinner. As this is our final night in
Tirano, you may wish to take in the town nightlife over a glass of wine at an
outdoor café, or retire early to rest up for tomorrow’s discoveries.
* Day 8
Overland to Lake Iseo • Franciacorta vineyard and winery tour
Destination: Lake Iseo
Meals included: B L D
Accommodations: Hotel Villa Kinzika or similar
Worker harvesting grapes at a winery, Franciacorta, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: We depart Tirano and drive to Lake Iseo, the least known of the
Lombard lakes, and the Franciacorta wine region. Along the way, we'll stop in
Edolo. There, we'll witness sweeping views of Val Camonica, an ancient valley
in the central Alps carved by glaciers and named for the Camuni people who
inhabited the region in the Iron Age.
Our next stop is in Franciacorta. Upon arrival, we'll begin our discoveries
with a nature walk that will reveal why this region is able to produce some
of the best sparkling wines in the world. Then, our walk will bring us to one
of the local wineries that produces the famous Franciacorta wines. This
particular winery is run by two sisters, who will share with us the secrets
of methode champenoise, the special method used in Franciacorta to produce
the wine’s “sparkle.” This variety of wine is hand-harvested, fermented in
wooden casks, and aged by law for 18 months—an intricate, centuries-old
process we'll gain insights on and have the opportunity ask in-depth
questions about. We'll also enjoy a tour of the wine cellar, as well as the
mansion located on the grounds.
Lunch: At the winery. As we sip three varieties of the wines produced here
during a tasting, we'll be served a light lunch of local specialties to
cleanse our palates and enhance our appreciation of the fine wines of
Franciacorta.
Afternoon: We continue our drive to Lake Iseo. After checking in to our
hotel, you are free to spend the rest of the afternoon as you wish. You can
relax in your room, join your Trip Experience Leader on a walk through town,
or join a few of your fellow travelers for a stroll.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: You are free to return to your room to rest before your explorations
tomorrow, or join fellow travelers in the villa’s main area for a nightcap to
discuss the day’s activities.

Or, if you'd like, you may join an optional tour of the town of Brescia to
discover its culture. Those taking the tour will drive to Brescia and take a
walking tour of the city with a local guide. We'll stop at sights such as the
Piazza della Loggia and the Tempio Capitolino, one of the few remaining Roman
ruins in the area.
Lunch: On your own. You can have lunch right in the hotel's restaurant or
maybe check out the dining options near the hotel. Whatever you're in the
mood for, your Trip Experience Leader can point you in the right direction.

Upon arriving in Brescia, we'll meet our local guide and begin a walking tour
of the city. We'll stop at sights such as the Piazza della Loggia and the
Tempio Capitolino, one of the few remaining Roman ruins in the area. We'll
explore the ruins in depth, learning how they were once buildings that played
an important role in local life, such as a theater thought to have held over
15,000 people and an ancient law court. Once our tour concludes, we'll enjoy
lunch at a local restaurant.
* Day 10
Transfer to Trento • Visit Garda Lake • Olive oil tasting & lunch
Destination: Trento
Meals included: B L D
Accommodations: Hotel America Trento or similar
Lake Garda, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today we drive to Garda. Covering more than 140 square miles, Lake
Garda is the largest of the Italian lakes—so large it straddles the border of
three distinct regions: Lombardy, Trentino Alto-Adige, and Veneto. The shores
of the lake are dotted with quaint, postcard-perfect towns like the one we'll
explore today, Desenzano. With a population of about 25,000 residents,
Desenzano del Garda is characterized by its labyrinthine streets, a castle
overlooking the lake, and a small harbor. The town attracts northern Italians
looking to both relax on its shores and party in its trendy nightclubs.
Upon arrival, we'll set out on a discovery walk of Desenzano with our Trip
Experience Leader. After some free time to explore on your own, we'll
reconvene and drive to an olive mill. Owned and operated by the Manestrini
family, this mill is well-known for its extra virgin olive oil and has even
received national recognition over the years.
Lunch: We'll sit down at the farm for an olive oil tasting and finish off
with a farm-fresh lunch.
Afternoon: We'll resume our journey north to Trento, driving past valleys and
meadows in the foothills of the towering peaks of the Italian Dolomites.
You’ll have some time to settle in to the hotel in Trento before we regroup
for an orientation walk.
Dinner: At a local restaurant.
Evening: Free to do as you wish. Relax with travel companions at the hotel or
get a feel for Trento’s nightlife over a negroni—a traditional Italian
cocktail made with gin and Campari—at a local bar.
* Day 11
Explore Trento • Optional Levico Terme cooking class
Optional Tour
Destination: Trento
Meals included: B
Accommodations: Hotel America Trento or similar
Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trento, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: This morning, we’ll meet a local guide and set off on a walking tour
of Trento. The city is noted in history as the locale of the Council of
Trent, which began the Counter Reformation and brought half of Europe back to
Roman Catholicism in the mid-16th century. At the heart of the city is
Castello del Buonconsiglio, a mighty fortress that was home to Trento’s
bishop-princes from the 13th century until 1801.
Lunch: On your own in Trento. Considering its small population, Trento has a
remarkable number of dining spots to choose from—from street food stalls to
elegant Michelin-starred restaurants. You can still get pizza, but the food
in Italy's northern reaches begins to have Austrian influences. Be sure to
try the canederli, a type of bread dumpling that's a real local favorite.
Afternoon: Following lunch, you'll have the rest of the day free to relax
back at the hotel or continue exploring Trento on your own. Or you can join
an optional tour to the spa town of Levico Terme, where we’ll meet a local
chef who will teach us to prepare a few traditional dishes during a memorable
cooking lesson.
The optional tour begins as we drive to Levico Terme, a town known for its
beautiful lakeside scenery, and the therapeutic powers of its mineral-rich
thermal springs, where we’ll enjoy a short discovery walk with our Trip
Experience Leader. Then we’ll head a local restaurant, which has been owned
and operated by the same family for five generations.
We’ll meet the head chef, Riccardo, who will tell us more about his family’s
history, and his passion for working with the community to grow and promote
the organic, local produce that the restaurant uses in its dishes before we
roll up our sleeves, pour ourselves a glass of wine, and try our hand at a
few recipes ourselves. Under Riccardo’s expert guidance, we’ll prepare a meal
together, which we’ll have the opportunity to share once it’s complete.
Dinner: Travelers on today’s optional tour will enjoy an included dinner as
we share the meal that we worked together to prepare. Otherwise, dinner is on
your own. Your Trip Experience Leader can recommend a restaurant.
Evening: Return to the hotel at the conclusion of your optional tour, where
the rest of the evening is free to rest or explore independently.
Levico Terme cooking class - $135/person
Enjoy an afternoon excursion to Levico Terme, a spa town known for its
beautiful lakeside scenery, and the therapeutic powers of its mineral-rich

Explore Val di Funes • Overland to Bressanone (Brixen)
Destination: Bressanone
Meals included: B L
Accommodations: Hotel Krone or similar
Val di Funes, South Tyrol, Italy
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: We’ll depart Trento and transfer to Bressanone. Our drive will take
us through the Val di Funes, a beloved valley known for its steep peaks and
pastoral alpine scenes. Sloping mountain pastures are dotted with elegant
farmsteads, and the occasional church spire pierces the sky.
We'll break up our drive with a stop to explore the valley on foot. We'll be
joined by a local who will guide us on a leisurely hike along the Santa
Magdalena, a scenic trail that cuts through a village and affords sweeping
views of the surrounding area. As we walk, keep your camera at the ready: Val
di Funes offers postcard-worthy views around every corner.
Lunch: At a mountain hotel restaurant in the small village of Santa
Magdalena, featuring regional specialties.
Afternoon: We’ll continue our journey to Bressanone. Upon arrival, we'll
check in to our hotel and you’ll have the remainder of the day to settle in
and relax. Or you can go for a stroll along the medieval streets of this
Austrian-influenced city. Also known as Brixen, Bressanone was founded in
901, making it the oldest city in the Alto Adige.
Dinner: On your own this evening. You'll find lots of food choices in this
German-speaking Italian region of the South Tyrol, where the freshly made
Italian ravioli might be stuffed with jam or spinach and sour cabbage before
it's deep fried in oil. Ask your Trip Experience Leader for some dining tips,
and be sure to share a plate of Speck, the Alpine version of Parma ham.
Evening: Free for you to do as you wish. Continue getting acquainted with the
town with a stop at one of the many classic beer gardens for which Bressanone
is known.

ReelEarth: The Sound of the Dolomites
Recommended Video : ReelEarth: The Sound of the Dolomites Produced by Scott
Sell
Learn about the mix of German, Italian, and Ladin cultures that influenced
the musical compositions of native singer and composer Giorgio Moroder.
15:30
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: This morning, we take a local train to Bolzano, the provincial
capital of South Tyrol.
South Tyrol is an autonomous region and enclave of small villages, medieval
castles, and rolling hills. An Austrian territory for centuries, some 70% of
South Tyroleans speak German as their first language—in fact, you'll hear
German spoken on the streets just as much as you will Italian (and speaking
of streets, even road signage is written in both languages). Upon our
arrival, we’ll set off on a roughly 30-minute walking tour of Bolzano with
our Trip Experience Leader to view the city's medieval buildings and
pastel-painted homes.
Then, we’ll stop at the Bozen Municipal Museum to discuss cultural identity
in South Tyrol. This is an appropriate backdrop for our conversation, as it
is the oldest museum in the region, and among other relics, contains
archaeological finds surrounding Tyrolean folk culture. Next, we'll walk to
the Bolzano's Museum of Archaeology to spend some time with another special
guest—Otzi the Iceman. Otzi is the incredibly well-preserved 5,300-year-old
mummy that was discovered in this region in 1991. After our museum visit, you
can take the train back to Bressanone. Or, you'll also have the choice to
spend more time in Bolzano and return to Bressanone on a later train—just let
your Trip Experience Leader know how you prefer to spend your afternoon.
Lunch: On your own in either Bressanone or Bolzano. Bolzano’s local cuisine
is also marked by a heavy Austrian influence, and you can always grab a plate
of sausages to enjoy with a local beer for lunch.
Afternoon: While some travelers may be out enjoying the medieval streets of
Bressanone and others soaking up Bolzano's Alpine scenery, all those who are
back in Bressanone by the mid-afternoon can choose to join an optional tour
that takes us to the top of Plose, a scenic mountain near Bressanone noted
for its hiking, skiing, and panoramic views of the Dolomites. Departing
promptly upon return from Bolzano, a short drive will take us to the base of
a nearby mountain, where we'll then take a gondola lift to the summit. There,
we'll enjoy a typical Tyrolean snack at a local chalet, followed by a light
hike to take in the beauty of our surroundings.
Dinner: At a local restaurant in Bressanone.
Evening: You're free to hit the town or head up to your hotel room. Or you
could venture out to a local wine bar.
Plose Mountain excursion - $110/person
Take in the sweeping views of the Dolomites at Bressanone’s Plose Mountain.
At almost 8,500 feet above sea level, this South Tyrolean mountain is a top
skiing and hiking destination. We’ll journey by bus to the foot of Plose,
then take a 15-minute gondola lift ride to the summit, where we’ll enjoy
panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Then, after a snack at a local
chalet, we’ll set off on a 1-hour nature hike to take in the beauty of the
Alpine scenery. Then, we’ll return by bus to Bressanone.
Please Note: The Optional Plose Mountain Tour is seasonal (available from
late May-September) and subject to weather conditions.

Hiking and Lunch in Val Gardena
Traveler Video Created by Edward Getley, 12-time traveler from Somerdale, NJ
Join traveler Edward G. on a hike to the ruins of Wolkenstein Castle and for
lunch hosted by the owners of a local farm.
04:59
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today we set off for Val Gardena, a valley nestled in the heart of
the UNESCO-designated Dolomites where a trio of languages is spoken: German,
Italian, and Ladin. Several of these small Alpine villages in the Dolomitic
valleys are centers of Ladin culture. An ethnic minority of about 35,000
people occupying five valleys of the Dolomites, Ladins developed their own
language—unrelated to German or Italian, it’s the oldest language of Italy’s
Alpine region. The terrain here makes for a hiker's haven and skier's
Shangri-La. Because of our small group size, we'll get to enjoy a unique
people-to-people experience in the Dolomitic valleys when we meet with a
Ladin-speaking resident of the region who accompanies us on a nature hike of
about 1.5 hours through the rolling foothills. While we admire the scenery of
our surroundings, our guest will offer his or her insights into Ladin
culture, and perhaps tell how they came to settle in these hidden valleys of
northern Italy. We'll also learn why ongoing efforts to preserve the unique
Ladin language are so important.
Lunch: At a local chalet, where we may have the opportunity to interact with
the lodge's owners and learn about what it's like to be a resident and
business owner in this remote mountain region.
Afternoon: We’ll make the return journey back to Bressanone. You'll have the
remainder of the afternoon free to relax after the day’s discoveries. Or, you
might like to visit Bressanone's historic Pharmacy Museum—which covers some
400 years of tools and tinctures used in the medical field and includes
exhibits featuring plants, animals, and minerals used in healing practices.
Dinner: On your own. You may seek out an eatery serving Italian and
Austrian/German cuisine, or ask your Trip Experience Leader for
recommendations near the hotel.
Evening: On your own. This might be the right time to check out Bressanone’s
nightlife with a visit to a late-night café or maybe just a stroll through
its many piazzas. Or, you can retire early to rest up for tomorrow.

Valsugana • Apple orchard experience • Venetian countryside
Destination: Venetian countryside
Meals included: B L D
Accommodations: Relais Villa Corner della Regina or similar
Venetian countryside, Veneto, Italy
Activity Note: Today’s visit to the apple orchard farm is seasonal and your
experience will vary depending on when you visit.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Today we leave the towering peaks of the Alps for the hills of the
Veneto region. We'll drive to Valsugana, a fertile plateau dotted with
vineyards, lakes, and streams. Our destination today is a local apple orchard
farm. Apples and other fruits have been cultivated in this scenic region for
centuries, and we'll spend some time today learning about this
long-established agricultural history.
Upon arrival, we’ll meet with the farmer and learn about local apple
cultivation and the production of apple-derived products such as juice,
cider, and vinegar—as well as how apples are incorporated into traditional
cuisine, particularly in desserts and cakes.
Lunch: At the farm, featuring a home-cooked sampling of the delicious apple
varieties grown here, polenta Valsugana (the northern Italian staple of
coarsely ground yellow corn), and some local delicacies that embody a typical
farmer's lunch. We'll feel like part of la famiglia as we gather around the
farmer's table to share the meal with their family, perhaps exchanging
stories about life in the countryside and our adventures in Italy.
Afternoon: We continue our journey into the heart of the Venetian
countryside, arriving at our hotel in the mid-afternoon. You’ll have some
free time to get settled in and explore the grounds. Perhaps you will meander
through the manicured gardens, or find a cozy spot to read a book. Then,
we’ll gather in the bar for a Farewell Drink to toast to the friendships
formed and memories made during our adventure.
Dinner: We’ll sit down to a festive Farewell Dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Evening: Free to do as you’d like. You may choose to take an evening stroll
around the villa’s grounds, or share a final drink with your fellow travelers
as you discuss highlights of your adventure.
