Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Italy Travel Night with Collette, the CSB Travel Club and Lori French Travel Services! We had a wonderful turnout, lots of great questions, and so much excitement about exploring Italy together. ❤️

But I know many of you couldn’t make it… so let’s keep the conversation going!

If you were considering this trip, what would you want to know before you booked? 🤔

Maybe it’s:
✈️ The departure airport
🏨 The hotels
🍝 The food and included meals
🚌 How much travel is involved
🇮🇹 The cities and sights we’ll visit
💶 The cost
👟 How much walking is involved
👫 Traveling with a group
❓ Or something else entirely!

Drop your question in the comments! I’d love to answer it! You might ask a question that someone else is wondering, too. Believe me, there are no silly questions!

And if you’ve already been to Italy, what is the one place, meal or experience you would tell someone NOT to miss? 🇮🇹❤️

June 2027 may seem far away, but the best time to plan is now. If Italy has been on your travel wish list, this could be the perfect time to turn that dream into a trip!

Message me or comment ITALY and I’ll get you the details. ✈️🇮🇹

Tuscany & Venice

One of my favorite parts of this itinerary is the time spent in Tuscany and Venice.

Visit the beautiful hill town of Cortona, enjoy the scenery of the Tuscan countryside, and stop at a local w**ery in the Chianti region.

You will spend two nights in Venice, where you’ll visit Murano Island to watch skilled artisans create beautiful glass, explore St. Mark's Square, and have time to enjoy this unforgettable city at your own pace.

Italy has so much to offer, and this tour includes many of the places people dream about visiting.

It's hard to imagine a trip to Italy without visiting Rome and Florence.

In Rome, you will explore the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica with a local guide sharing the history along the way. Then travel to Florence, where you’ll stroll through beautiful streets, admire the famous Duomo, and experience the heart of the Renaissance.

This tour is active and designed for travelers who enjoy getting out and experiencing each destination, not just seeing it through a bus window.

Fairytale endings do exist, and they look exactly like this. 🏰✨🍀

Our final full day of exploring, and Ireland saved some of its absolute best magic for last. We visited the Kilbeggan distillery dating back to 1757 and is the oldest licensed distillery in Ireland. It sadly ceased production in 1957 and sat still for 25 years. The community of Kilbeggan came together to restore the distillery through a labor of love, which saved the site of disrepair. They preserved, almost all of the old distillery equipment and maintain the distilling license and is now open to the public as a wh***ey distillery museum and a new working distillery is open. 🥃 🥃

Later we wandered through the lively, historic streets of Galway soaking in the seaside air and the traditional Irish culture. 🌊🎻

Late afternoon, we arrived at our breathtaking historic castle hotel. It was wonderful to stroll the castle grounds and get lost in the maze of exquisite rooms. Sitting by the grand fireplace and enjoying our farewell dinner surrounded by centuries of history was the most perfect way to cap off this unforgettable journey. 🍷🔥
