Pawtucket, RI (September 20, 2023) – Collette announces the launch of its 106th season of travel. North America’s longest-running tour operator celebrates its 106th year of operation with the introduction of several new tours, including Spotlight on Northern Italy and Historical Greenbriar.
On the new Spotlight on Northern Italy travellers will spend a week exploring the region of Veneto and while on tour, travellers will spend seven nights in Treviso, the birthplace of Tiramisu. They’ll have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on Tiramisu cooking class alongside a pastry chef. On top of that, travellers can experience a winery tour and tasting in the Prosecco wine region. Plus, they will embark on a full-day tour of the Dolomites, which includes a cable car ride and a stop in Cortina, host of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Collette’s all-new Historical Greenbriar tour will take travellers on a historical journey through Washington D.C. and its surrounding areas in Virginia. Travellers will stay at The Greenbrier, one of America’s most renowned resorts. This new tour is perfect for travellers who want a taste of luxury from days gone by with a mix of some modern history. It includes one of Collette’s “Choice on Tour” features too, allowing travellers to decide whether they want to take a panoramic city tour of Richmond or a Black History Tour through the Jackson Ward neighbourhood.
These Season 106 tours, along with several other new journeys, are set to debut in the new season and were built by travellers, for travellers.
