Tripwired Tours

For one glorious week, we settle into our own private villa among the olive groves of Umbria and experience Italy at a slower, richer pace.

This is a journey built around the pleasures Italians value most—long lunches, exceptional local produce, beautiful hill towns and meaningful encounters with the people who bring this region to life.

We’ll hunt truffles in mountain forests, walk through olive groves, discover medieval towns, taste remarkable wines and return each evening to our countryside retreat for sunset aperitivo, shared meals and time to simply enjoy being here.
