2025 ITALY TOUR & EXPERIENCE
June 23-30
Experience one week of Italian fine dining, wine, culture, and retrace the steps of Allied forces from their landing in southern Italy, through their advance and devastating battles to secure Rome. Visit the iconic monastery, Monte Cassino, and learn about one of the most brutal battles of World War II.
A 7-night trip and experience to follow the path of our World War II heroes from the Mediterranean coast through the mountains of Italy, where one of the bloodiest battles of World War II was fought. This experience will focus on key aspects of the Italian Campaign by walking along the coast, through the mountains, and understanding the battles based on first-hand accounts of those who were there. Four days will be spent re-tracing their steps, and three days will be spent intermingling local Italian culture such as world-class wineries, restaurants, Italian cooking classes, an archeological excavation, and other Italian experiences not accessible to the general public. Guests will stay at a villa along the Mediterranean Coast and all transportation, meals (breakfast and dinner), and experiences will be included.
