Our programs combine education, cultural immersion, and daily movement, so we recommend comfortable, versatile clothing. Think smart casual, with an emphasis on ease and practicality.
Bring well-fitted walking shoes, breathable layers, and attire suitable for a range of settings, from countryside walks and cooking experiences to educational sessions and group dinners. Italians tend to dress neatly and simply, so polished comfort works well.

Meals during our trips are an important part of cultural and educational immersion, often featuring fresh, seasonal foods.
