Long known to Italians as the culinary heart of the country, Emilia-Romagna is still being discovered by the international traveler.

We'll walk and hike through verdant countryside, olive groves and picturesque Medieval hilltop towns; enjoy local wines in cellars and vineyards, tasting Lambrusco, Pignoletto, Sangiovese (the same grape used in Chianti, the famous Tuscan wine grown just South) among other varieties; savor local delicacies like Aceto Balsamico di Modena; and even take part in a truffle hunt! Maximum group size: 14

Trip Info
The walks on this tour have been designed for women in good physical condition. The maximum daily distance is 8 miles with duration of up to 6-8 hours, whilst some days there will be significantly easier walks on gentle terrain. The terrain varies from flat and gentle rolling hills to foothills with steeper sections, walking on quiet back roads and trails. A rating of 2 requires aerobic conditioning for at least 20-40 minutes 3-4 times a week. Additional endurance exercise (e.g. going for a 2-hour hike once a week) and/or strength training is appropriate.
