Day 1-3

Day 4-7
World famous landscapes of Val d'Orca and Crete Senesi
Move to our favorite farmhouse in Tuscany for 5 unforgettable nights. Begin each day with a delicious breakfast and views you won’t believe.

Workshop and review favorite images on the big screen, the best way to learn!

Roam the Val d'Orcia most famous places but also some lesser known photographic locations.

Dive deeper into villages and landscapes of the Crete Senesi, much less traveled but equally jaw dropping for photographers. A working monastery with wine tasting, meet ups with local characters and true Tuscan meals dot this itinerary and make it an authentic visit you won't forget.

Day 8
Buonconvento and farewells
After a farewell breakfast and a brief wrap-up in the workshop room, we get to see each guest’s favorite images from our time together.

Visit our home base of Buonconvento for market day. Tourists don't know about this place and we like it that way. Meet some great old characters and soak in the authenticity.

Reluctant goodbyes in Florence about 4PM.

This was a highlight in my life. The staff was extremely nice, professional, and accommodating. Group members were great, too, and contributed so much - professionaly and socially. Planning was really good: beautiful places, good variation, and great photography opportunities. I loved the sites in Zion, Grand Canyon, slot canyons, and Virgin river. East Canyon overlook and Beehives a little less unique, but still a great experience. Thanks for a great week. Ofer

I loved everything about this workshop - the locations, the instructors, the logistics, my fellow travelers. I learned a lot about photography, and came back with many images that I'm proud of. Only a couple small complaints about the itinerary - I wish we had more time at the Grand Canyon, and an earlier start at Horseshoe Bend. But those issues were well outside the control of the trip organizers, and they did their best to overcome those difficulties. Thanks for a wonderful week!

The Lakes trip was a stunning visual feast and we were looked after really well by Mauro and Randy. The hotels were comfortable and Lake Orta was spectacular. Thank you to Italy Workshops for another wonderful experience (especially the gelato)

Can’t say enough about the superb concierge service we received from Mauro. His attention to detail blew me away. We felt like VIPs from beginning to end and his knowledge of the area dovetailed perfectly with the activities we suggested and which he made happen without flaw. Thank you again my friend for the great memories we made in Italy.

This was an extraordinary trip! Drake and his team, Gabrielle and Mauro, organized the best locations for our workshop. Our accommodations were unique (even a cave in Matera!) Drake’s review and coaching of our photography was really helpful - and kind. With a range of skill among the travelers, that was great. The experiences in small towns, were beautifully thought out. Meals were excellent! We had a small group, so we could be flexible in making small adjustments to the itinerary if needed or a better opportunity presented itself. This is our second time to travel with Italy Workshops and it won’t be the last!
