A Tactile Travel tour leads small groups (maximum 15 people) to visit textile treasures, and touch (and buy) stunning materials and yarns. Staying at family owned inns and hotels, each day includes group activities and time for individual exploration. An Italian experience can't be complete without eating well, and our itineraries include a wide range of regional cuisine and wines.

Besides visiting textile and decorative arts museums, a Tactile Travel tour includes workshops on Italian life, culture and creativity. Depending on the tour theme, you will learn about the different traditions of Italian materials and yarns. Within the group, you can share new techniques in your own knitting, sewing or quilting.

Take the time during your vacation kindle your creativity with these new experiences. With a Tactile Travel tour, you may reach places that many never find.
