Here’s what makes our Alla Campagna Experiences unique:
-
- Alla Campagna Experiences are about cultural immersion, rather than photography.
- Our experiences highlight the local cuisine, wine and spirits, people and more.
- You can expect a half-day of scheduled activities, and half-day of free time, on average.
- Destinations are more easily accessible from the U.S., Northern Africa, and certainly Europe, as they’re concentrated in and around the Mediterranean.
- Shorter trips of 7 – 10 days and stay in one, maybe two locations, so there’s less packing and unpacking.
- Accommodations in unique, upscale properties, such as (each experience is different):
- Private castles
- Wine estates
- Wonderfully converted mansions and villas
- A parador (converted castle or monastery)
- Gorgeous boutique hotels and other one-of-a-kind places
- Depending on the experience, activities will include:
- Wine and spirit tastings
- Unique culinary experiences, cooking classes and demonstrations
- Private lectures with local experts
- Learn how they harvest and process the local specialties (and taste each)
- Meet with local craftsmen and -women, often in their homes or places of business.
- Limited to just 6 to 14 participants.
