Textiles and Cuisine: Italy's La Bella Vita

Ocotober 27-November 5, 2026

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure through Northern Italy—where the beauty of handmade textiles, incredible food, and iconic art come together in the most inspiring way.

On this 10-day journey, we’ll explore the heart of Italy’s textile traditions and indulge in the kind of food and craftsmanship that has been perfected over generations. We’ll start in Milan, where fashion-forward meets artisan heritage, and continue on to Florence’s silk-weaving mills that still use Renaissance-era looms. We’ll roll up our sleeves with a hands-on natural dyeing workshops, meet skilled embroiderers, and visit artisan studios that blend old-world techniques with contemporary flair.

Of course, no trip to Italy is complete without savoring its flavors. You’ll learn how Parmigiano Reggiano is made, sample aged balsamic straight from the source, and wander through Bologna’s bustling food markets. Along the way, we’ll take time to enjoy some of Italy’s most iconic masterpieces; including Michelangelo’s David and the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery.

This tour is more than just a vacation. It’s a celebration of la bella vita—the beautiful life—and all the ways Italians weave art, fashion, food, and joy into everyday living.
