A Weekend IN THE HEART OF THE VALLEY

I like art but am not an expert. Will this trip be right for me? Absolutely. Artful Jaunts are tailored to every level of aficionado—from expert collectors to those just starting out, there's something for everyone. Where do your guides come from? Do your guides undergo background checks? Do I need to purchase art if I go on a trip? What additional costs are not included? I have been involved in art all my life. Will this trip be too basic for me? Are bespoke trip options on offer? Are corporate Jaunts available? What do I need to bring on a Jaunt? What if I want to stay longer to do some personal travel? Is a Jaunt appropriate for children?
