00:00 (church bells ringing)
00:03 Finding this Italian lemon grove
00:10 was an adventure I'll never forget.
00:12 Where do I begin?
00:14 It was one of those rare days
00:17 where my schedule was unscheduled.
00:20 So it was really nice.
00:23 So I decided to take a trip
00:25 to one of my favorite places, Home Goods.
00:28 I never know what I'm gonna come across.
00:30 Like this stunning collection of European finds.
00:33 Wow, solid olive wood.
00:35 Look at the detail and the color.
00:37 But then, something else caught my eye.
00:40 What was this woven ceramic beauty doing here?
00:43 And at an unbelievably magnificent price, too.
00:47 Made in Italy.
00:48 I can almost smell the citrus, hear the waves,
00:52 see the colorful villages
00:54 and narrow streets of the Amalfi Coast.
00:56 Well, now that I'm free, when's the next flight to Italy?
01:01 What was my perfect day while traveling the Amalfi Coast?
01:12 Where do I go first?
01:14 Well, this looks like a fun place to start.
01:18 Oh, look at that.
01:24 (upbeat music)
01:27 Everyone, wave.
01:29 I've never seen Positano like this before.
01:35 After that amazing boat ride,
01:41 I knew I had to taste and experience
01:43 something that included the region's famous lemons.
01:46 So I found my way to meet a seventh generation family
01:49 of lemon growers in Amalfi.
01:51 (speaking in foreign language)
01:53 So you have both the fifth, the sixth,
01:55 and me, I have the honor to be the seventh generation
01:58 of our family.
01:59 (speaking in foreign language)
02:01 We grow this lemon like a baby in a cradle.
02:03 Oh, I love that.
02:04 You give it love.
02:06 I'd love just to hear a little bit more from all of you
02:09 about what it means to make something handmade in Italy.
02:12 There must be a great sense of pride, I would imagine,
02:15 that comes from that.
02:16 Of course, we keep all of the original system of cultivation
02:19 for the lemons as they did hundreds of years ago,
02:21 which is difficult to replicate everywhere else in the world.
02:24 And to pass our energy and our passion,
02:27 because without the passion, we can't do this.
02:30 (speaking in foreign language)
02:35 You can just grab a lemon and you can eat it just like that.
02:38 I know it's strange for people,
02:39 but this one, the skin, is the best part.
02:41 So you can just bite it just like an apple,
02:44 and it's really amazing.
02:45 (upbeat music)
02:50 (speaking in foreign language)
02:54 That was absolutely divine.
03:00 Okay, now I'm ready for something sweet.
03:20 Not a bad way to spend a little free time.
03:22 This stunning ceramic dish from HomeGoods
03:27 sparked an adventure of a lifetime on the Italian coast.
03:30 Imagine what other adventures are out there
03:33 just waiting to be found.
03:35 Feed your wanderlust with incredible global finds
03:40 and a world of savings.
