Custom Tours
OurPerhaps you've imagined celebrating a milestone birthday in a hilltop village, clinking glasses of Montepulciano at sunset. Or a honeymoon that trades tourist crowds for private vineyard dinners and cobblestone wandering. Maybe you want to gather your closest friends for an unforgettable week in the Italian countryside — and you want every detail to feel effortless and meaningful.
At VinAway Journeys, we design private, customized Italian experiences built entirely around you. Your interests. Your pace. Your vision of la dolce vita.
No cookie-cutter itineraries. No strangers on a bus. Just Italy — authentic, intimate, and curated with care.
Why Custom Tours?
-
A customized journey means you choose the region, the pace, and the experiences that matter most to you. Love wine? We go deeper into the cellars. Passionate about history? We open doors that group tours never see. Prefer slow mornings and leisurely lunches? Every day is designed around your ideal Italy.
-
Planning an authentic Italian trip takes hundreds of hours of research. We handle all of it — vetting properties, coordinating local guides, booking intimate restaurants, navigating transportation. You simply arrive, and Italy unfolds before you.
-
Our deep local relationships unlock experiences simply not available to the independent traveler — private estate tastings, family-run wineries not listed online, hidden trattorie where the owner knows your name before you walk in.
-
From the first conversation, we listen. The itinerary that emerges is a reflection of you — not a template, not a package, but a customized journey built from scratch.
A Journey for Every Occasion
-
Italy is made for romance — and a customized VinAway journey takes that to another level entirely. Imagine waking to vineyard views, a private tasting at a centuries-old estate, a candlelit dinner reserved just for you at a ristorante the guidebooks haven't discovered yet. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, or simply the joy of being together in the most beautiful country on earth, we design every detail to feel like a love letter to Italy.
-
A landmark birthday or anniversary deserves more than a dinner reservation. It deserves an experience — one that takes you somewhere new, surrounds you with beauty, and leaves you with stories you'll tell for years. We take care of every detail; you take care of the memories.
-
Traveling with close friends, family, or a curated group of like-minded souls? We design private group experiences that bring people together — shared meals, wine tastings, cultural discoveries, and the kind of unhurried conversation that only happens far from everyday life. Groups of 2 to 12 are our sweet spot.
-
If your idea of the perfect trip includes standing in a cellar with a winemaker who's tended the same vines for forty years, or tracing the story of a region through its food, its art, and its people — you've found your people. VinAway was born from a deep love of authentic Italian culture, and every customized journey reflects that passion.
