When one thinks of Italy, there are a few things that always come to mind—rich history, breathtaking art, quaint towns, fine wine and, of course, food. Landlocked in central Italy, the region of Umbria offers all that and more. To experience all the region’s delights, join Ergo: Travel’s A Taste of Umbria tour (Oct 9-16). As part of the tour, you’ll get to sample authentic local cuisine, visit farms, vineyards and olive groves, and experience lesser known visitor attractions. Ergo: Travel specializes in tours to Italy and their local guides will offer inside scoops you won’t find in guidebooks. The tour might be five months away, but there are rewards for booking early. If you purchase the tour before May 31, you’re eligible for an early bird special price of $3,230 per person, twinshare (usual price, $3,510).
