THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE MANY CUSTOM TRIPS WE ARRANGE FOR OUR GUESTS; MULTI-GEN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND MANY OTHER COMBINATIONS!
A few months into the COVID pandemic, an old friend contacted us with a special request: create an Italian trip for him and his lovely wife, together with a group of their close friends. Hit the highlights, but also explore some back roads that only Adagio knows. Call up our buddies around the Bel Paese and create some cool experiences. This is the trip that resulted.

Seductive Portugal! From the historic beauty of Lisbon, to the undiscovered realities of the country’s largest region, Alentejo – this trip explores why Portugal is the current darling of savvy travelers to Europe. Nine exquisite, relaxing days of history and natural beauty accompanied by great food and wine will create lasting memories.
Alentejo, spreading from the Atlantic Coast to the Spanish border, invites us to Come Alive … to the incredible span of history; the stunning architecture, sturdy castles and ancient villages; the exquisite craftsmanship; and the sensational gastronomy and wine. Come alive to the passion of this extraordinary region.
Freshly baked bread, olives, cheese, red wine or crisp vinho verde (young wine), chargrilled fish, cataplana (seafood stew), smoked meats – the Portuguese have perfected the art of cooking simple, delicious meals. Dining means experiencing the richness of Portugal’s bountiful coastline and fertile countryside. All washed down with some very drinkable wine!
The allure of Sicily lies in its contrasts. Palermo, cradle of the Mediterranean and “a city of extremes, a mixture of panache and poverty.” Along our west to east route we visit Agrigento’s magical Greek temples; top wineries; meals that are tantalizing cultural mosaics. Majestic Mt. Etna and its surrounding cities, once the center of Magna Graecia, mark the end of our 10-day adventure.
