Join Me on a fantastic watercolor journey through the rolling hills of Tuscany. Learn how to capture the essence of Italy in beautiful watercolor paintings. Stay at a respectable historic estate and savor the original flavors of authentic Italian pasta, real wood-fired oven pizza, delicious risottos, gelato, and more amazing chef-made food paired with unlimited premium Italian wine. Get inspired by the gorgeous peach-toned sunsets, vineyard-covered hills, and cypress-scattered horizons in one of Italy's most beautiful regions. Visit the amazing medieval towns of San Gimignano and the Chianti Classico trail .You'll be leaving the retreat with an amazing collection of snapshots from Italy reflected in your very own artwork, skills to create more beautiful watercolor paintings, new friendships, and memories to last you a lifetime.

I do want to mention again as I forget in video don't freak out about shared rooms- you only sleep there  really and we have a Facebook  group page opened up 4 months prior to get to know everyone so you will not feel like your with a stranger- most of my retreats people come back for a shared room- you make strong friendship bonds when your on trips like this!! :) And there is a fair amount of walking so make sure you can walk on these excursions - they can be hilly. :)

All questions Please contact Uptrek they will be happy to answer them all

I looked at uptrek, and is it correct that the price also includes your tuition? If so, this is a deal! I’m looking at flights and I’m sooooo tempted to sign up. Guess I’d best decide quickly!

Ellen Crimi-Trent

Ellen Crimi-Trent

yes it includes all the food except when we go to the 2 towns for lunch and ALL my instruction you get LONG days of ME! LOL lots and lots of individual time we have a blast!!!

Ellen Crimi-Trent

me too- its the BEST!! the FOOD alone- thats why I made sure we added a pasta class from the chef- the fact they have truffles on the property- Sold!

Trying to figure the flight, leaving from Buffalo, NY, layovers, immigration time. I expect this trip will be a hoot!

Rosemarie Berry

I would absolutely love to do this, but sadly it would be impossible for me. I hope you will share some of your photos!

I have the Facebook link now. I am currently in New Zealand during the cyclone of the century - internet has been sketchy but we have stayed safe and emails are now up to date!

Hi, how lovely to visit Italy. I suppose some painting will be done there. It will be nice to have an exhibition on-line of all the completed works.

Cathleen Burton

would have really loved this or the Cape Cod workshops....but I already signed up fro the Charleston one and that should be great.
