Enjoy wine, cooking and five rounds of golf on this seven-night tour of Italy’s gorgeous Lake Como region. Located in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, the 1,300-foot deep Lake Como is a playground for the wealthy and famous, with stars such as Madonna, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone owning residences there. Monticello - Red Course is a Raffaele Buratti design, later modified and improved by Jim Fazio, that has served as host for multiple Italian Open championships. Nestled against the Alps, the layout features flat, wide fairways. Golf Club Menaggio offers a short, but stout course with narrow sloping fairways and incredible views of the lake. Also visit the library, which features one of the world’s largest collections of golf publications. Golf Club Carimate winds through an estate that features a medieval castle. Large rhododendrons and epic oaks dot the course, which was renovated and modernized in 2007 to ensure its high ranking in the region. Golf Club Villa d’Este is an Italian gem, opened in 1926 and carved through the forest, finishing at a memorable clubhouse. Deluxe accommodations provided throughout the tour at Villa d’Este. Self-drive options available for parties of four.
