For a glimpse into the original splendor that surrounded the nobility during the Middle Ages, take a step back in time with tours of two magnificent castles. After boarding your coach you'll head north to the seaside resort of Duino. Dramatically perched atop a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, Duino Castle was originally built for the noble Lords of Walsee and has been the home of the aristocratic von Thurn und Taxis family since the 19th century. A guided tour includes a look at memorabilia collected over the centuries and lovely gardens. Next on the itinerary is the 1,100-year-old Spessa Castle, majestically dominating the hills of Capriva del Friuli, in Gorizia. Producing top-quality wines since the 14th century, visit the prestigious wine cellar and taste red and white wines in a splendid setting. There will be time to visit the wine shop before rejoining your coach.

Special Notes:

ote: Tour requires substantial walking on uneven surfaces. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Minimum age to participate in the wine tasting is 18 years.
