Vivian V. Russell Travel is organizing several special trips for Fall and Winter travel. For details on any of these or something else you have in mind, just give us a call.
+Tuscany
wine and culinary tour.
We will be based in a beautiful villa on the Tuscany coast. With our local host, Maria D’Arrigo, we will explore the great foods and wines of Tuscany on excursions to wineries and restaurants. We’ll have two days of cooking at our private culinary school with a top chef of the region. We'll visit Florence and other great art cities of Tuscany with a private guide, and enjoy very special meals in an atmosphere not to be found anywhere else in the world. We’ll walk a lot, see a lot, learn a lot, eat and drink well, and have a one-of-a-kind trip. Join us!
+Wine Tour on the Rhone River, France.
Sail along the Rhone river
region of Provence and southern France. Discover
the amazing vineyards and wines of this exquisite
region. Our accommodations and transportation will
be one and the same--the lovely river boat the Princesse
de Provence of Peter Deilmann Cruises.With
our private wine guide we will visit and taste
the wines of the Rhone Valley, including grand
cru wines like Cote Rotie, Condrieu, Chateau Grillet,
Saint Joseph, Crozes Hermitage and Chateauneuf
du Pape. We’ll have a leisurely yet thrilling
trip, rich in the quiet harmony of Provencal landscapes
as seen from the river, with visits to wonderful
towns like Arles, Avignon, Vienne and the exciting
city of Lyon. We will, of course, wine and dine
to our heart’s content, in a part of France
that we feel, one simply must experience at least
once in a lifetime.
+Mediterranean Cruise on Celebrity Cruise Line.
November 4, 2007
We are sailing on Celebrity Cruise Line’s Millenium on
a 14 day cruise from Barcelona to Venice. We’ll
add on a few days in each of these great cities, and in between
we'll have fantastic private excursions in Nice, Livorno on the
Tuscany coast, Roma (2 whole days and a night, thank goodness!),
and old Naples. Then we head to Greece and Turkey, with port
stops in Athens, Istanbul, and the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. There
are many cruises this season and many ships sailing the Med–but
we have chosen the best ship and the best itinerary, and then
made it better with our private shore excursions. Join
us!
+Abruzzo,
Italy–Customized Family Heritage Tours.
Calling Italian-American Families whose ancestors came from Abruzzo.
Our recent trip to Abruzzo revealed to us an undiscovered
and beautiful region of Italy, east of Rome and south of Venice,
on the Adriatic Coast. We are organizing trips for those who
wish to discover this region, which is easily combined with a
trip to Rome or Venice. We know that older generations of California
Italian families came from Abruzzo, and we especially would love
to assist those who wish to see where their ancestors came from.
We discovered that Abruzzo is a region of surprising beauty,
rich traditions, fantastic food and wine and fine hand-made art
and handcrafts. We feel that Abruzzo is worth visiting
for anyone with an interest in Italy, but for those who have
a family connection with Abruzzo, a trip to this region must be
done at least once! We know it’s off-the-beaten-track and we
like that. Let us help you organize a family trip to the land
of your great grandparents and relatives.
