Do you ever wonder if those “trip of a lifetime” giveaways are even real? As someone who won a trip with National Geographic to Peru back in 2005, I can tell you three important things: they ARE real, people DO win, and they really can be trips of a lifetime!

Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods, the company that makes some of the most mouth-watering Italian food you’ll find outside of Italy has launched its second annual sweepstakes for a trip to Italy. One grand prize winner will win an eight-day trip for two!

But it gets even better, because you’ll be taking this trip with Michael Angelo, himself, as well as with his mom, who is the inspiration behind the amazing line of frozen food products. It’s the foodie adventure people dream of, and it’s really going to happen! You’ll be staying in a private villa with the Miachael Angelo’s family, and will go on amazing excursions throughout the area, including an exclusive event at Castello Banfi, a winery that almost looks like a dream. Take a quick peek here and you’ll see what I mean.

The sweepstakes is open now for your entry (and it’s VERY easy to enter, by the way). Head on over to the Michael Angelo’s Trip to Italy sweepstakes page, and while you are there, check out the fun video from last year’s trip!

I received coupons for delicious Michael Angelo’s products in exchange for sharing this trip of a lifetime opportunity with you. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own. Buona fortuna, everyone!
