Italy Vacations and Italy Escorted Tours - Globus®

Food, Wine and Italy – Oh My! Globus just unveiled Italian getaways for 2011, including the return of the 10-day Northern Italy's Highlights & Cinque Terre (priced from $1,829). On this journey, travelers will delight in Parmesan cheese and balsamic tastings near Parma and wine tastings on the way to Turin; and visit the Ferrari Gallery near Maranello before taking a train along the picturesque Mediterranean Sea to Rapallo and indulging in fine dining in Milan. Another Italy vacation making an encore presentation in 2011 is the 8-day Umbria's Treasures vacation, priced from $1,479.

"Both Northern Italy's Highlights & Cinque Terre and Umbria's Treasures were designed with the seasoned traveler in mind," said Scott Nisbet, president and chief executive officer of the Globus family of brands. "These journeys are focused on providing a plethora of personal enrichment opportunities, including free time to explore passions and interests individually."
