The Po River Valley in Piedmont Lombardy and Veneto
The Po crosses Turin along with three other rivers, hence the nickname City of Four Rivers. The river environment includes a large pedestrian, bicycling, nature and educational system. The Murazzi district, with 19th Century warehouses and boat depots, is one of the trendiest in town.
Cuneo in southwestern Piedmont is surrounded by the Alps and the Langhe hills. The traditional local punts are boats between seven and twelve meters in length. The name is derived from a four meters long reinforced pole used to propel the boat by pushing against the riverbed.
Grana Padano is produced on the left bank Parmigiano Reggiano on the right bank of the Po

France about 90% of barges operate in France, which has an extensive canal system. Trips are offered through Champagne, Burgundy, the Upper Loire, Alsace, Canal de Midi, Provence, and Aquitaine. Barges also cruise the canals and some rivers in Holland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and Italy.
Barges carry four to 22 passengers and are mainly family-owned and operated, with a crew that includes a gourmet chef.
Self-Drive Barges are like Houseboats and are a Less Expensive Option
Barges travel at a very slow pace, covering about 50 to 60 miles total on their mostly weekly itineraries. That provides people with an in-depth experience of a small area. These cruises are for clients who want to soak in non-urban culture.

Venice Murano Burano and the Prosecco Hills



Venice is comprised of 118 islands intersected by 150 canals and linked by 400 bridges. Among the neighborhoods to choose for your visit: Cannareggio – Ghetto, Santa Croce, Miracoli, San Zanipolo, Rialto, Frari, Dorsoduro, Giudecca and Castello. This incomparable city is full of secret campos, handsome Gothic palazzos and neighborhood wine bars. San Marco square with its bell tower and the Doge’s Palace, the Grand Canal surrounded by Venetian style palaces, numerous art galleries and boutiques.
Murano is a cluster of islands connected by bridges, world-renowned for its glass products. Its glassmaking industry began in 1291 when the city of Venice moved the glass furnaces and the glass artisans to Murano to avoid the risk of fire to city buildings. Burano is a fishing village famous for its lace. In the 16th century, Burano’s lace was the most sought after in Europe. Explore this island with its brightly colored houses, the main feature of the island, the most picturesque of the lagoon.

The Prosecco Wine Hills visit to a wine cellar and wine tasting. Dry, lemony, and bubbling, is Italy’s answer to refreshing, well-made, sparkling wine. Created from predominately Prosecco grapes in the northern Veneto region of Italy in the foothills of the Alps, Prosecco is light, affordable, and fun. Traditionally, Prosecco was made as a soft, somewhat sweet wine with just a little fizz, but today’s Proseccos are dry and very bubbly. Sometimes combined with a small amount of Pinot Blanc or Pinot Grigio grapes, Prosecco is made using the Charmat method rather than the Champagne method, the French method of making sparkling wine. Straw-colored Prosecco, with its overtones of citrus, melon, lemon, almonds, and honey, is a perfect summer wine.
