Grape Harvest Time!

Your Passport to Italy for Enchanting Tours

Grape Harvest Time!

Elizabeth and Elena I'm still reliving the wonderful memories from my 2 weeks in Tuscany. I traveled with my Castles & Vineyards group for a fun-filled time, loving the autumn weather and the changing colors of the vineyards. We had so many wonderful meals and sampled many of the delicious red wines of the Chianti Classico and Val d'Orcia areas. I still have several groups traveling throughout Italy so I am certainly still there in spirit!

I will be adding new photos to the website soon and getting back to work as the Spring tours are just around the corner! Updates will be posted soon to the Spring 2008 tour schedule.

If you are thinking of having us plan a Custom Tour for you, now is the time to start the planning for Spring!
