What better way could we start 2012 than by hopping off to Perugia to attend the 4th-annual International Wine Tourism Conference and workshop????
Perugia is a stunning city located in the rustic central Italian region of Umbria.The conference and workshop will bring together wine and travel lovers and professionals from around the world to discuss, reflect on and develop their ideas re wine and culinary tourism. The conference program will offer many opportunities for professional contact and development. It involves a three-day program of over 40 talks, presentations, panel discussions and workshops It also gives delegates a chance to taste wines from around the world and to meet leading wine and travel figures and writers and exchange ideas with fellow professionals from all sectors of wine and culinary travel.
I am looking forward to discovering many more wonderful places for our clients to visit and taste the local wines both in Italy and throughout the world. Salute!

| B&R News: New European Walking Trips
As the trusted travellers who encourage others to slow down and experience all that our destinations have to offer, we’re always looking for ways to share in the wonders of the world. And in Europe the wonders of walking are everywhere in evidence, which is why we’re so pleased to announce for 2012 the addition of three new walking itineraries: Corsica, Umbria and Tuscany Self-Guided. Yes, more regions to explore means more reasons to love B&R, and more incentive to read on.

|
| Departure Lounge: Best School Ever
Few experiences in life teach us more than the school of travel. At B&R family-oriented With the Kids itineraries instill that sense of adventure, independence and sheer wonder that travel should inspire. So as your kids head back to class, we invite you to consider booking a trip that will have them (and you) eager to learn more and explore further. Space is limited on our Christmas departures, so call soon to reserve your spot!

| Postcards: A Closer Look at the Dalmatian Coast
There are still those regions of the world that remain off the beaten track, though gloriously accessible in the hands of B&R. How? Well, we take a decidedly creative approach to devising our itineraries and none more so than our Dalmatian Coast Biking excursion, a chance to board a traditional yacht known as a gulet and ply the waters of the Adriatic in search of remote islands, historical wonders, stunning topography and, of course, to pedal to places where few other travellers have ventured or likely ever will. Sound appealing? Let us show you more.
