More Than Just Ragu: Why Bologna should be on your list

Let’s face it, France is the undisputed wine capital of the world. Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne… the names alone conjure up glasses of ruby reds and sparkling golds.

We believe that travel is made memorable not by ticking off the sights, but by those unique moments that stir all the senses – the taste of local wine poured with pride, traditions told by those who have lived them, the hush of history echoing through a cobbled lane. 
 

This irresistible destination nestled in the heart of the world-famous Emilia-Romagna region is charming, yet less chaotic and touristic than its louder neighbours. 

Today, we step into Julia’s world for a heartfelt look behind the scenes of life on the road.

Every Back-Roads journey is shaped by those travel moments that just feel... different. Our Tour Leaders play a huge part in creating those extraordinary memories for guests that last a lifetime.
