Join Phillis Carey and I May 18, 2014 in Venice, for a cruise on the Uniworld River Countess. Our trip will begin in Venice, with stops in Padua, Ravenna, Verona and Bologna the gastronomic capital of Northern Italy.
At the end of the trip, you are invited to extend for 4 days in Tuscany, where we will travel to the Siena area, first stopping for lunch at the famous butcher
Dario Cecchini, who was featured in Bill Buford's book
Heat. Dario quotes Dante and sings arias as he butchers.
Once situated either in Siena or on the outskirts, we will have 1/2 day wine and olive oil tasting, 1/2 day tour of Siena, and 1/2 day cooking class. We do not have the pricing for the Tuscany extension, since most hotels have not set their prices for 2014, but our travel agent with her magic wand, promises something in the next few weeks. If you are interested, please go to
my website and click on the brochure at the bottom of the page, all the information is is there. Merlene will take great care of you, and can help with airfare, and other arrangements.
Here are a few photos from the places we will visit on our cruise, enjoy!
