Sardinian Wine Tours

Sardinian wines, unnoticed for some time, are climbing to the forefront of recognition from many wine experts. The Vermentino that is produced, especially in the Gallura region, has been mentioned by several as one of the top ten Italian wines and as you would expect from a land influenced by the sea, the perfect accompaniement to seafood. Cannonau, the hearty red from the interior, traditionally had a very heavy and robust flavor but has now been tamed into a full-bodied mellow wine designed to accompany the lamb, pork, and goat that graces the shepherd's tables in the rocky inlands. Wines are not a new thing to the island, however. Ancient Phoenician's were the first to introduce cultivated vines in about the year 1200 BC. Deriving its name from the ancient inhabitants, the nuragus is the variety they brought with them and has adapted to the dry, poor soil so well that it flourishes where no other grapes will grow. Vinyards dot the hills around the island and winemakers are eager to show off their handywork to visitors.

Our wine tours are accompanied by fine meals and lodging in four star hotels. Meals are top-rate where you can sample a variety of not only fine dishes but the many flavors of the typical antipasti that will delight your tastebuds.

Sardinian Gourmet Tours

Sardinia, due largely to its varied past, has a diverse assortment of traditional dishes which change with the landscape as you wind your way around the island. The coastline offers arguably the best seafood in Italy and its preparation changes with each region. Move into the interior and you'll find the cuisine reflects their geography featuring meat dishes served in hearty proportions. Food here is so important, in fact, that it is difficult to find a bad food experience but the truly fantastic will astonish you. One thing you should keep in mind, though, is that meals are not a short affair. All accross the island, everything stops for the customary three hour break at lunch and dinner, usually starting at about 9pm, can take you past the midnight hour. My biggest recommendation is to make sure you never miss a chance for antipasti even if you must sacrifice a dish later on. Experienced diners will know, however, that even when you think you are full there is always room for a bit more, especially after that first taste. Adding to your experience will be the opportunity to learn how to prepare the dishes yourself. Imagine spending the morning picking the wild ingredients that you will later be coached on how to turn it into a delicious liquor or preparing the fresh pasta for the evening meal.

Our gourmet tours are accompanied by fine wines and lodging in four star hotels. They can be arranged as smaller three or four day journeys or as a longer comprehensive tour.

Sardinian Golf Vacations

It's not an accident that many famous players sign up for the Italian Open, wanting to experience not just one of the world's top golf courses but enjoy the beautiful blue vista of the Mediterranean as they chip to the green. Sardinia has two top-class 18-hole courses that are open year round, Is Molas in the south near the beautiful beaches of Pula and Chia and Pevero in the Costa Smeralda. These courses offer top quality playing and service that go hand in hand with their spectacular scenery making it the ideal location to enjoy a golf vacation. Both areas offer wonderful surroundings and the hotels can be arranged with a combination of meal options ranging from buffet breakfast in the morning to full board including fine meals in their restaurants.

Sardinian Diving Holdiays

From the first time you go under and look through the clear water whose blue color intensifies as you look further out you will be hooked to the diving experience that can be found in the Mediterranean waters that suround the island. In the Straits of Bonifacio you will find large numbers of Groupers, immense and plentiful as they surround you, creating a spectacle you will remember for years. Due to its strategic position, Sardinia has long been home to a variety of vessels that misfortune sent to the bottom of the sea creating a plethora of interesting immersions. Hover over WWII boats whose motorcycle cars still sit on deck awaiting some nautical rider. Search out a historic ship that carried precious cargo among routes frequented from Phoenicians to Vandals. Vacations can be arranged that include lessons and certifications in addition to accomodation and gear.

We have some very good schools that we work with throughout the island who can get you up and spanning the waves in no time flat.
