You're Invited!
Buongiorno!
Join me, Julie Amacher, on a ten-day journey through Bella Italia!
Lovingly created for lovers of art, music, and fine food.
Together, we’ll celebrate the lives of Verdi, Rossini, and Puccini, exploring the places where they lived, composed, and found inspiration. We also plan on visiting the renowned Stradivarius Museum, where you'll be treated to a special concert.
Savor Italy’s culinary treasures—tasting wines at family vineyards, sampling olive oils, meeting artisanal cheese makers, and enjoying multi-course dinners. Wander through lively markets and charming hill towns, soaking in the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside.
This exclusive journey is a feast for the senses—an unforgettable celebration of music, culture, and friendship in the heart of Bella Italia.
Arrivederci!
