Join Me on a Tour of Sardinia!
If you’re a traveler — weaver or not — who wants to experience Sardinia and the island’s beauty, arts, culture, history, nature and textiles, come join me on a tour!
These tours are for travelers who want to experience Sardinia, not merely glimpse what’s generally shown on social media or found in tourist books. These adventures are thoughtfully designed to provide you with unique experiences that expand your appreciation of Sardinia’s natural beauty, culture, history, people, and arts — including food, wine, and — of course — textiles!
On these tours, you’ll experience many facets of the jewel that is Sardinia — a magnificent and unique island I’ve been exploring since 2013. Yes, we visit the traditional handweaving artists mentioned in Sardinian Arts, including those featured in my film I Want to Weave the Weft of Time. If you’ve wanted to learn the pibiones technique, you have the chance to learn from the living masters!
Even if you’re not a textile artist, there’s a tour and adventure for you.
I personally curate, design, and host each tour to provide you with amazing, memorable, and relaxing experiences you’ll treasure. A co-host accompanies me, and Sardinian artists and guides share their expertise as we move through the island.

The May 2026 tour emphasizes Sardinian handweaving while also bringing us to natural, historic, and sacred spaces of the island. The October 2026 tour explores handweaving and other arts, and offers a few more excursions to natural, historic, and sacred spaces. Both tours are definitely for travelers who want to gain understanding and have experiences not found on the typical Sardinian tourist itinerary!
On these adventures, you’ll explore places rarely traveled by visitors and also take in some of Sardinia’s well-known and often breathtaking landmarks. Prehistoric settlements, monuments, and sacred wells; Roman baths with still-accessible hot springs; beautiful beaches and short walks to absorb nature (the scent of the local mirtillo flower is perfume!); centuries-old buildings and city centers; museums with amazing collections of historic textiles, traditional costumes, ethnographic displays, and other arts; hands-on opportunities with some of the traditional arts and crafts; beautiful hotels and country estates with exquisite home-prepared food and wine — these and so much more to delight your mind, senses, and spirt!
While we experience much, the trips have a relaxed pace so that you can better feel and imbibe Sardinia’s unique essence. Itineraries are a bit flexible to ensure we can take advantage of any synchronistic opportunities to attend micro-local events that may pop up.
Groups are limited to a maximum of 12 guests (minimum 10 guests). During the registration process, I’ll talk with each guest to ensure the tour is the right fit for you.
2026 Tours and Dates
The Beauty of Sardinia Tour, with an Emphasis on Handwoven Textiles
This tour highlights visits to handweavers’ studios, textile museums, and related adventures, and includes explorations of natural, historic, and sacred spaces of the island.
The Beauty of Sardinia Tour
This tour includes visits to handweavers, yet we spend less time in textile-related museums and activities than in the May tour. Instead, we spend more time exploring other arts and cultural, historic, and natural areas. Weather permitting, this tour may include a short boat excursion and a guided tour of breathtaking natural caverns.
Exact itineraries vary from tour to tour, and may change.
