Hi all: I am proud to share information about the Umbria Photo Workshops--molto simpatico 'photo vacations' that my wife Judy and I lead every May and October. Our base of operations is a gorgeous, fully restored 17th-century farm villa in Cannara (in the shadow of Assisi).

We only take six students each trip to insure individual attention. No entrance requirements beyond a love of photography, good food and fine wine. All breakfasts and several dinners are included, as well as a daily wine and antipasto happy hour.

No need to rent a car: we have a van and driver at our disposal all week for our excursions to glorious hill towns and beautiful cities.

It's the trip of a lifetime and we guarantee you will come back with great photos. Contact us at GVR@GVRphoto.com or go to www.experienceumbria.com

Mille grazie,
