Lakeside charm from Turin to Milan

From the grand boulevards of Turin to the fashion streets of Milan, this nine-day journey takes you through the lakes, countryside and traditions of northern Italy. Spend time in Verona and Modena, where you’ll visit an acetaia for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience and taste aged balsamic vinegar made using centuries-old methods. Settle into the lakes to explore the winding shores of Lakes Garda, Maggiore and Como. Visit the Enzo Ferrari Museum and share a home-cooked meal with the Serenelli family on their farm, a site tied to the Battle of Solferino. Along the way, take in the scenic towns, local flavours and an easy going pace of life.
