With more than 30 years of experience, Italy Group Services Travel Srl. offers flexible, personalized tours with a complete range of options for groups.
“We are half British, half Italian, so we speak your language in more ways than one: We understand your culture, who your clients are, and what they must have for a successful and safe tour,” says Gerry Smith, the company’s owner and operator.
iGs Travel offers tours based on themes such as pilgrimages, art and culture, culinary, garden and wine, the latter being the most popular among North American groups.
“But not any old wine tours—ours go to excellent off-the-beaten-track vineyards with presentations that share secrets about fermentation, aging and bottling, tastings—of course— and end with a lunch on rugs under the vines,” Smith says.
Wine-tasting experiences include Gambino Vineyards in eastern Sicily, located in the volcanic hills of Mount Etna, and Il Palagio Di Panzano, located about half a mile from the hilltop village of Panzano in Chianti, Tuscany. There, visitors can take the classic tour and learn the organic production of wine and oil, experience the culture, see the vineyards and winery, and sample the wine. The brunch option offers the classic tour program with Tuscan dishes to enhance the tasting experience.
