Veneto’s Sweet Escape

Veneto, in northern Italy, is culturally rich and known for its mix of food, romance, art, and history. Come with us as we escape to the charming town of Treviso, hometown of Italy’s iconic dessert, tiramisu. Unpack once at Hotel Carlton Treviso, your home base for 7 day trips including Verona, the romantic city of Romeo & Juliet’s trysts; then to the hilltop haven for artists—Asolo where you can trace the steps of author Ernest Hemingway, poet Robert Browning, and composer Igor Stravinsky. Continue into the rolling hills of the Prosecco region for a visit to a local vineyard. After making a traditional pasta dish, toast to the sweet life with a wine tasting. Then discover the treasures of Venice’s Doge Palace, canals, architecture, gondolas, and glass blowing. Weave through the winding roads tucked within the jagged rocks of the Dolomites. Finish with a visit to the quaint town of Bassano del Grappa, associated with the locally produced grape-based schnapps. 7 Breakfasts and 3 Dinners are included.
