Ponte Vista

I’ve been working with Linda Clay and her  marvelous company, Travel Specifics, for some months now, devising a trip based on all the things I love about Italy:  gardens, wine, olive oil, glorious sights and scents and thrilling new information. This trip of my dreams includes everything I adore about Italy and the
Italians and what they have to offer.

Our tour is a feast for the senses. We will travel to beautiful cities and charming villages and enjoy sumptuous dinners in sublime surroundings. As we wander through intense Tuscan colours and vistas there will be delights enough for photographers and artists alike. We immerse ourselves in wine and olive oil tastings at unforgettable  vineyards and family trattorias. Thefragrance of flowers will follow us wherever we go: from rolling fields to an organic harvest that results in the aroma of our own gourmet  lunch in the enchanted hills of Chianti.
