We’re going back to the Motherland!
Our Summer Camp 2026 SOLD OUT and received rave reviews, so......we're doing it again!
You’re invited to join Juli, Julie and I…. Yes! The three J’s are ready to spend time with you in Italy at what we’re calling Summer Camp (in the spring when it's a bit cooler, LOL)
There are VERY limited spaces available, so unfortunately it’s first come first serve…. But man do we have something amazing for you. The incredible villa we have is actually a series of apartments, so grab your besties and take an apartment.
Of course we have the infamous Juli led Wine Tastings (are we at 14 Wine Spectator awards??), and lucky for us, we have our amazing Julie to document everything through her photography.
The price includes your accommodations and at minimum one excellent excursion a day.
Please note that the schedule is subject to change as we get closer to the event.
*Please advise your liver that it needs to be prepared to work overtime!
Why not start our summer camp trip with a panoramic pizza party? Get to know each other, take in the best Italy has to offer overlooking the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri!
We typically have two Ah-Mazing wine visits, tours and wine tastings with (a lot of) food.
Yep, we will be having some fun at the Villa with a meal we all work together to make and a hat burning session with yours to take home! And of course, the "un-talent" show!
We can’t cook all the meals, so we will end Summer Camp at an incredible local Seafood restaurant on the beach for a meal to remember! Might as well start out with Champagne at a local jewelry store.
Enjoy a cocktail and a swim as we take a sunset cruise around the coast!
Tenuta Vannulo, an organic buffalo farm just outside Paestum, known as one of the first organic producers of buffalo milk and mozzarella in the area. Includes show of mozzarella production & tasting
Visit the UNESCO-listed site, famous for its three remarkably well-preserved Greek temples – including the Temple of Neptune, Hera and Athena – and the archaeological museum with its frescoes and more
We seriously can't come to the Amalfi Coast without a few beach days!
How much more do you need? Okay, okay... lots of hanging out with new friends, games, impromptu poorly executed talent shows and skits, dance parties and a million and more laughs.
Kids, you’re on your own for this one, but I will happily try to coordinate your airfare and transfers
If you want them, they’re on you
Any additional tips are not covered.
You'll spend the night in Naples and then we'll head to the Villa.
Join us for a Welcome to Italy Party…. Of course it’s got panoramic views, unlimited pizza and wine!
We will kick things off with a visit to a local vineyard, with a tour, tastings and a LOT of food to go with it.
Visit the UNESCO-listed site, famous for its
three remarkably well-preserved Greek temples – including the Temple of Neptune,
Hera and Athena – and the archaeological museum with its frescoes and artefacts
such as the Tomb of the Diver – slef-guided, includes various entry fees. Plan
11:00–13:00 for the guided visit before lunch nearby or return to the Casale.
Depart from the Casale around 08:15 and drive to Tenuta Vannulo, an organic
buffalo farm just outside Paestum, known as one of the first organic producers of
buffalo milk and mozzarella in the area. Includes show of mozzarella production,
leather bottega, the museum of peasant civilisation, buffalo stables and mozzarella
tasting.
The sunset. The water. The views… plus the drinks and the food… perfect evening.
Guided cellar tour and tasting of wines that express the Cilento
territory to its fullest and the producer’s winemaking style along with plenty of food!
Learn the art of Hat Burning with your own design, burned onto your own hat to take home to remember this epic trip.
Of course we couldn’t do our legendary Wine Experience without actual wine tastings by Juli. But… I mean… we’re in a Villa. With wine. With Juli… so we’ll probably be drinking wine and learning all week!
