"To see Italy- the real Italy, you must live like an Italian.  On tours with Vernon and Kathy of Italiaoutdoors that is exactly what you get. From the first glass of prosecco on the terrace of the hotel overlooking olive groves, everything immediately feels different; pressures evaporate and adventure, challenges and enormous amounts of everyday culinary serendipity await."

• World-class food and wine program: Explore the amazing regional cuisine and wonderful diversity of wines with your culinary guide, Kathy - a chef and wine certification graduate that specializes in the foods and wines of Northeastern Italy.

"The authentic Italy, whether cruising on a magnificent, locally made road bike, sitting in a cafe or cooking up fresh squash blossom frito, is effortlessly available for the taking. Italiaoutdoors supplies the framework for the trip of a lifetime leaving just the right amount of time and space for the unexpected. To feel as though you are part of the Italian culture is a testament to the insightful precision of a thoughtful journey, because in the end, its all about the roads taken. I loved my journey!"

---- Susan Regis, James Beard Award Best Chef in the Northeast, Upstairs on The Square, Cambridge, MA

• Affordable bike, ski and hike tours - custom trips for the same price as scheduled trips

• Regional expertise introduces you to the authentic Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Emilia-Romagna, areas still off the main stream tourist path
  

In addition to a few scheduled trips, some featuring very special Master Guest Chefs, such as Jody Adams in 2010, and Susan Regis in 2011, we very much look forward to customizing an itinerary for your small group (4-12).
