On Tuesday 10 March , Journeys North America heads just beyond the cobbled streets of Historic Savannah to one of the region’s most distinctive venues - Red Gate Farms . Set across 115 acres of breathtaking Georgia countryside , Red Gate Farms is a place where centuries-old live oaks stretch wide beneath curtains of Spanish moss, horses graze in open paddocks, and tranquil lakes reflect Savannah’s endless sky. Though only minutes from downtown, stepping onto the property fee

As Journeys North America comes to a close, we’re finishing in style - and there’s no better place to do it than Wexford – Savannah’s Irish Pub . From the moment we step through the doors, we’ll be swept into an atmosphere that blends authentic Irish hospitality , Savannah charm , and good-hearted celebration  - the perfect backdrop to cap off an unforgettable experience with our community.

On Monday 9 March, the spotlight turns to one of Savannah’s most treasured landmarks as Old Fort Jackson hosts an unforgettable evening of food, music and living history. Set along the banks of the Savannah River, Old Fort Jackson stands as Georgia’s oldest standing brick fortification and one of the best-preserved coastal forts in the country. Built in the early 1800s to defend the city, the fort has witnessed centuries of American history - from safeguarding the port of Sa

During my recent visit to Emilia-Romagna, I had the privilege of spending time at Casa Artusi in Forlimpopoli — a place that is far more than a culinary venue. It was there that I met Mattia Fiandaca, who generously guided me through the spaces and shared the deeper story behind this extraordinary institution. Walking through Casa Artusi with him brought the legacy of Pellegrino Artusi vividly to life. Artusi’s 1891 masterpiece, La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene,

Journeys Insight - February 2026 by Jules Ugo, Journeys Insight Editor. As we move beyond the first key booking period of the year, it’s the right moment to take stock. Early indicators already point to a continued shift in how affluent travellers define value, and what they expect from luxury in 2026. For decades, luxury travel followed a familiar formula: more stars, more space, more staff. Marketing language revolved around thread counts, club floors and brand prestige. Re

There are moments in our industry that remind me exactly why I do what I do. Not because they are grand. Not because they are loud. But because they are meaningful. Recently, I had the rare privilege of spending an evening in the company of the one and only Lucia Magnani - at her extraordinary health clinic hotel in Emilia-Romagna. An intimate private dining room prepared just for us. A table set with care. A quiet sense of anticipation in the air. Lucia’s property is not si

We’re delighted to celebrate Perry Lane Hotel  as the host hotel for Journeys North America  and the gracious sponsor of our Opening Cocktail Reception.

Located in Savannah’s Historic District, Perry Lane seamlessly blends Southern charm with elevated design , making it one of the most captivating destinations in the city. Nam

Some places don’t need to impress you. They simply welcome you — and then quietly reveal their depth. During my recent visit to Palazzo di Varignana, nestled in the rolling hills just outside Bologna, I had the pleasure of meeting with Irene Lebanti and spending time immersed in a property that feels both expansive and deeply grounded. It is a place where landscape, food, wine and hospitality are not separate ideas, but part of a single, coherent way of life. Palazzo di Varig

The first time you step onto the tarmac of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, you feel it instantly. This is not just a racetrack. It’s a place layered with history, emotion and speed — where motorsport has shaped culture, character and collective memory for generations. My recent visit to the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was nothing short of exhilarating. Thanks to Luca Sandi of Modenatur , I was invited behind the scenes for a private tour of one of Italy’s most i

Back at Lucia Magnani Health Clinic, I was reminded just how powerful a truly considered welcome can be. From the moment I arrived, everything felt intentional. In my suite, a beautifully curated selection awaited me: a soft Jim tracksuit and T-shirt, Castrocaro Thermo Mod facial serum and hand cream, alongside exquisite Lucia Magnani skincare products for the face. Not gifts for the sake of it, but thoughtful touches that immediately invite you to slow down and settle into t

When it comes to experiencing Savannah, Georgia, there’s no better way to immerse yourself in the city’s charm than from the deck of a paddlewheel riverboat.

As we draw the year to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what 2025 has meant for our community. When we created Journeys, the ambition was simple: bring the right people together, in the right way, so they can build trust and do business. This year felt like the clearest expression of that vision - a rhythm of encounters that stretched across continents, gathered familiar faces, welcomed new ones and deepened relationships that started years ago. We opened the year online with

Costa del Sol has been part of the Journeys story from the very beginning. Our very first edition took place in the beautiful town of Ronda—a setting that perfectly captured the region’s refined yet effortless sense of place. That inaugural event helped shape what would become the Fam-Meet® approach, and it set the tone for the kind of high-quality, meaningful encounters that define Journeys today. It is fitting, then, that Costa del Sol continues to be one of the destinatio
