Looking to visit Italy, but not a fan of high summer prices and crowds? Winter is a wonderful time to visit, and there are plenty of outdoor activities for the active traveler to do. Trentino Alto-Adige, home to the majestic Dolomites, where participants can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or winter hiking, and then end each day with an exploration of the matchless foods and wines.
This small region in Northeastern Italy, home to the magnificent mountains and countless ski resorts, boasts more Michelin star restaurants than any other region in Italy. And to quote wine experts Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch, in their Vino Italiano The Regional Wines of Italy guide, “For those who love both the outdoors and wines, Trentino Alto-Adige is hard to beat.”
"Italy is always magical but this week created memories of a lifetime. Vernon and Kathy’s exceptional organization made for a wonderful experience." - DR, Boston
