Today is a treat for textile lovers. After breakfast, visit the region’s historic textile factory renowned for its intricate and beautiful decorative trim—perfect for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship. B
Uncover the stories of Turin on a guided city tour through its grand boulevards and baroque palaces. This afternoon, step inside the Museo Egizio, home to one of the most significant collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world. A private docent brings its ancient treasures to life.

This morning, travel to cosmopolitan Milan—Italy’s capital of fashion and innovation. A guided city tour highlights its blend of historic grandeur and modern design. This evening, roll up your sleeves during a fun-filled pasta-making class and savor the fruits of your labor during a shared meal. B, D
Start your day beneath the spires of the magnificent Duomo di Milano, one of the most stunning cathedrals in all of Europe. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore Milan at your own pace. Whether you’re drawn to elegant boutiques, cozy cafés, or hidden courtyards, the city invites you to wander and be inspired. B
Leave the city behind as you head to the lakeside beauty of Como. After lunch along the scenic waterfront, visit the Museo della Seta, where you’ll trace the threads of Como’s silk industry—once a cornerstone of Italy’s textile empire. This evening, gather for a cozy dinner of regional favorites, served with a side of Italian hospitality. B, D
All aboard! A day of lakeside magic awaits. Cruise across the shimmering waters of Lake Como, passing villa-studded hills and cypress trees. Stop in postcard-perfect Bellagio for panoramic views and boutique browsing, then continue on passing the romantic village of Varenna, known for its Lovers’ Walk where couples capture the spirit of la dolce vita. B
Today, journey to fair Verona, the storied home of Romeo and Juliet. Explore its charming piazzas and ancient amphitheaters before continuing on to Venice, the City of Canals. Settle in and savor the dreamy anticipation of the days to come. B
Step into a world of bridges, boats, and breathtaking views. A local guide leads you through Venice’s labyrinth of alleys and canals, culminating in a visit to the iconic St. Mark’s Basilica. The afternoon is yours—perhaps to shop for handmade lace, sip espresso along the Grand Canal, or simply get lost (happily) in Venice’s magic. B
Today, float to the nearby island of Murano for a mesmerizing glassblowing demonstration—watch as master artisans shape glowing orbs into delicate treasures. With your afternoon at leisure, perhaps visit nearby Burano, famed for its lacework and rainbow-colored homes. Return to Venice this evening for a special Farewell Dinner—raising a glass to new friendships and a journey stitched with unforgettable memories. B, D
With suitcases full of fabric and hearts full of inspiration, it’s time to bid farewell to Italy. Share hugs and contact info with new quilting friends before heading to the airport, already dreaming of your next adventure. B
