About your trip

About This Trip


This Northern Italy escape is all about connection, culture, and a little bit of indulgence—just the way we like it. Over 10 magical days, we’ll wander through storybook towns, sip wine in sun-drenched vineyards, and soak up the charm of cobblestone streets and canal-side cafés.


We’ll start in Verona, where bikes, pasta-making, and spritzes kick things off in style. From there, we’ll explore the sparkling shores of Lake Garda, dive into Italy’s food scene in Bologna, and sip Amarone in Valpolicella. 


And just when you think it can’t get better—we’ll end the journey in Venice, living like locals and gliding through quiet canals on a gondola.


This trip was made for women who want to see the world, savor the moment, and maybe find a little piece of themselves along the way. 


Come solo, leave with stories, new friends, and memories that’ll stay with you long after the gelato melts.
