🇮🇹 SICILY, SLOWLY
Eat • Live • Love
October 31–November 11, 2027

🍊 A BRAND-NEW SICILIAN ADVENTURE! 🌋

There is Italy—and then there is Sicily.

Who will join Ambassador Mary Kay Roth as we slow down and discover an island that is elegant and rustic, calm and spirited, ancient and very much alive?

We’ll begin with four wonderful nights in Palermo, tasting our way through colorful markets, marveling at golden mosaics, venturing into the Madonie Mountains, visiting medieval Castelbuono, and sampling the famous panettone of Fiasconaro.

Then it’s on to beautiful Taormina for four nights overlooking the Ionian Sea. Cook alongside a Sicilian chef, discover the colorful artistry of Sicilian ceramics, explore mighty Mount Etna, and sip wines grown in its volcanic soil. And because this is Sicily, Slowly, there is time built in simply to wander, shop, linger over lunch, enjoy another gelato, and watch Sicilian life go by.

Our final chapter takes us south to Syracuse and enchanting Ortigia, followed by the golden Baroque beauty of Noto and hillside Modica, where naturally, there will be chocolate!

This is Sicily the way we want to experience it—not rushed, not simply checking off sights, but with time to eat, live, love, and feel it.

Travel is about so much more than the places we visit—it’s about the people we meet, the memories we make, and the friendships that grow along the way. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to explore Denmark and Norway with such wonderful travelers.

Thank you for making me feel so appreciated. The flowers are beautiful, but your thoughtfulness means even more. 🌷🇩🇰🇳🇴Bridget Hannon Heser
