PAST TRAVELS

    UMBRIA +TUSCANY, ITALY

    Everyone here is connected, the community is close and deeply intertwined not only with each other, but with the land. The traditions of subsistence farming still feel present, not something of the distant past. You can taste it in the food, often simple farmer’s fare made fresh with whatever ingredients are most available.

  • CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE

    After days wandering Paris, dining in secret gardens and sharing oysters on the Seine, we traveled through the storied vineyards of France’s most famous wine region, ending with a Supper outside a private Chateau.

  • People gathered around a long table outdoors during sunset, overlooking mountains and a colorful sky.

    PICINISCO, ITALY

    It would be impossible to choose a favorite moment in our first Culinary Pursuit last fall, we’ve gone through the photographs over and over, yet we can’t pick just one! So many details from our glorious days in the beautiful Italian village of Picinisco are still so vivid in our minds, even many months later.

  • BURGUNDY, FRANCE

    As always, the generosity and willingness of our amazing guests surprised us, and year after year folks sign up to let us take them on the trip of a lifetime. When we sit down to plan those pursuits, we simply think about our ideal vacation, and go from there.
