**Madonna della Corona clinging to a cliff in northern Italy
**Hot chocolate among the Christmas market stalls in Canterbury
**Tiptoeing through the tulips in Amsterdam
**Toasting with champagne atop the Eiffel Tower
**Sampling Belgian Chocolate along the canal in Bruges
**Being serenaded by a Gondolier in Venice
**Cruising Loch Ness in search of you-know-who
**Making fresh pasta and pesto from scratch
**Riding the Jacobite Express across the Glenfinnan Viaduct to the Isle of Skye
**Spending the night in a 12th century Irish castle
**Finding the way out of the oldest hedge maze in England
**Sampling Tuscan wines with an unparalleled view
**Singing along on the Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg
**A fondue party with Swiss cheese and chocolate in the heart of the Alps

Did you really think that we wouldn't go back to Tuscany this year?! Tuscany is what inspired Bella Vita.....
We'll take you on a magical autumn journey: stay in a private 17th c. villa overlooking the Val d'Orcia in central Tuscany where a chef will greet you with a traditional Tuscan dinner, learn to make hand-rolled pasta, spend a day in the peaceful setting of Assisi, tour an ancient winery, castle, and enjoy lunch under the pergola at a Chianti cashmere farm. Explore Florence - the Birthplace of the Renaissance - bask under the Tuscan Sun in mineral hot springs, and visit the monastery of St. Francis hidden in the hills above Cortona. Three nights in the Eternal City of Rome caps our small group trip including a tour of Villa d'Este at Tivoli.
This ultimate Italian adventure is limited to 12 lucky guests. Secure a $50 discount if registered by February 1 - but this one is likely to sell out fast (the last one was snapped up within 48 hours). Andiamo - let's GOOO!!!
