Win a 5-Night Trip for Two to Southern Italy!

A One-of-a-Kind Trip Supporting Cincinnati’s West Side Charities
 

The Real Italy is Waiting for You

Forget the crowded tourist lines of Rome, Venice, or Florence. Imagine standing on the rugged cliffs of the Violet Coast, tasting fresh artisan cheeses at an authentic Saturday morning village market, or wandering through pristine medieval hill towns where life moves beautifully at its own pace. This is the real Italy—a place of secret beauty, deep-rooted culture, and true local life.
 

Westheart Social is giving away an extraordinary, 5-night journey for two from Cincinnati straight to the heart of southern Italy. Best of all, you won’t navigate it like a typical tourist. You will be personally guided by fellow Cincinnatians and Westheart members Tom and Kathy Deutsch. While they call Cincinnati home, they have traveled to this breathtaking region of Italy every single year for the last 29 years. They are opening up their private black book of local hidden gems, family-owned agriturismos, and secret coastal views just for our winners.
 

Your Curated Itinerary Includes:

• Round-Trip Airfare for 2 from Cincinnati to Italy.
   

• Hotel Accommodations for 5 Nights hand-selected for comfort and local charm.
   

• Exclusive Local Festivals: Experience the vibrant Alici Festival (Anchovy Festival) in Fuscaldo Marina.
   

• Breathtaking Nature & Architecture: A guided trek through Sila National Park and its surrounding historic hill towns.
   

• True Local Flavor: Taste your way through the Cetraro Farmer’s Market on a Saturday morning, followed by visits to historic Guardia Piemontese and the seaside murals of Diamante.
   

• Hidden Heritage: An immersive day trip exploring San Lucido, Fiumefreddo Bruzio, and a beautiful culinary experience at the Santa Rita Agriturismo.
   

• Iconic Coastlines: Excursions to the world-famous cliffs of Tropea and the historic seaside town of Pizzo, overlooking the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian Sea and the mesmerizing Violet Coast of Calabria.
