Bike Tours, Ski Holidays, Hiking Vacations.

Our passion is creating personalized active vacations that explore food, wine and the outdoor beauty of Italy. We'd love to have you join us for a biking, skiing, or hiking adventure. Each tour is led by us, customized for your fitness goals and desired level of activity, and complemented by the wonderful food, wine, culture and history of the region. Sign up for one of our upcoming adventures or we can design one together just for you and your group. Either way, we'd love to make your dreams of a very special Italy vacation come true!

We focus our energies on just a few select tours that we perfect and personally lead, to provide an exceptional level of regional knowledge and an unforgettable authentic experience. Our small group size (4-12 participants), together with our personal oversight enables us to adapt each day to create your perfect vacation. Our small footprint allows us to travel like a local and enjoy spontaneous adventures as we explore the path less traveled.

Due to the limited number of guests we support on our trips, we recommend booking early.

Truly Personalized Service and a Custom Plan for Every Trip:

Italiaoutdoors Food and Wine tours are very different from most bike, ski or hike tours, and we take pride in our differences! We have one goal, and it's the same as yours - to create the trip of a lifetime for your group.

We'll know a lot about you and your dreams for an Italy adventure before you even arrive, because all of your communications will be with us, Kathy and Vernon, your tour guides.

We will listen to you and create a trip to match your budget and your desires for accommodations, daily mileage, terrain, and afternoon activities such as wine tastings, cooking classes, shopping, and city tours.

Industry wide, not all "private trips" are custom. Most tour companies don't have the flexibility to deviate from a set itinerary, so there are always compromises.

With Italiaoutdoors Food and Wine, your adventure will be a unique as you are, and your itinerary will be personally designed by Kathy and Vernon to meet the fitness goals and varied interests of your group.
