PUGLIA, ITALY

On our eight-day adventure in September 2026, we will celebrate the art, history, and culture of the Puglia region of southern Italy. Our group of travelers will visit Bari, Fasano, and the elegant city of Lecce (the “Florence of the South”), as well as beautiful towns including Cisternino and Martina Franca, and villages nestled along the sparkling Mediterranean coastline. We will meet with local artists and enjoy special access to the unique Sassi in Matera, ancient cave dwellings that are a UNESCO heritage site, and the famous Trullis (stone huts with conical roofs) in the exquisite village of Alberobello. We will savor the celebrated cuisine of the region and even roll up our sleeves for a cooking class, while staying in exclusive accommodations.

For those seeking an extended journey, we are also offering a luxurious two-day pre-trip in Milan on September 7 and 8. This optional experience includes curated art and fashion excursions, private dining, and elegant accommodations in the heart of Italy’s style capital—an ideal way to begin your Italian adventure.
