Overview
Every 6 months, the Italy Vacation Specialists hold regional educational trips for travel professionals and travel writers in the hopes of educating those that work in the tourism profession about some of Italy`s best kept secrets.
This year, we are holding the Umbria Italy's Green Heart, Cortona (Tuscany) and Le Marche Italy`s Adriatic coast, where vineyards and olive groves roll right down into sea.
Umbria, Cortona (Tuscany) and Le Marche are spectacular in terms of geography, culture, history and the culinary delights which are produced in each region which include wine, olive oil, tartufo (truffle), wild bore, porcini mushrooms and many, many others.
These regions in Italy are some of the most fertile and beautiful in the entire country and still remain relatively unknown by the millions of tourists who come to Italy each year.
There is so very much to discover in these territories and along with our local guides and regional hosts, we will be delighted to welcome you on this incredible journey.
