"Springtime means... "

A day of boating on the pristine, uncrowded waters of the Tyrranean Sea, followed by a tasting of freshly made sheep's cheese and a frolic with the new crop of lambs in Southern Tuscany ... Fields of wildflowers and bold fresh tastes of young tuna in Sicily... Picking your own cherries and wild strawberries for breakfast in Provence.

"Autumn means... "

Watching hundreds of colorful sailboats in Trieste's annual barcolana race, then savoring fresh mushrooms in a historic trattoria high above the city... eating, drinking and dancing with the locals in festivals at the base of Sicily's Mount Etna... joining in the Rhone Valley grape harvest before supper of soupe au pistou in the courtyard of a private manor home.

OUR ONE-DAY CHIANTI EXCURSION was the highlight of our trip... spending time with two people who are not only knowledgeable and passionate ... about old foodways, but are also warm and gracious hosts. Connie K, March 2007

Comments on our Custom-Designed Journeys: I have trouble expressing how well this trip went. I've done quite a bit of traveling, and have organized numerous trips myself, and this was the best ever. Thank you for all your insight and hard work. Tom S, May 2007

Tasting the Lost Corners of Tuscany was a spectacular experience, where you [got] a true sense of the Tuscany of old. The food, accommodations and company were all delightful. I really felt like we were welcome and I made some great new friends. Evelyn P, September 2008
