CELEBRATING ITALY

An active foodie adventure in Tuscany, the heart of Italy, which combines good food, walking and yoga. Each day of the trip is themed around a local delicacy such as saffron, olive oil, bread, meat, herbs or cheese, to help you focus on the simple pleasure of enjoying these gifts of nature in the places that produce them. Our visits to local producers are interspersed with hikes and yoga sessions to uplift your soul and rejuvenate your body.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Carol numerous events beginning almost 20 years ago. In that time, I have not only seen consistency of commitment, energy and work ethic, but also the evolution of a very sophisticated level of taste and attention to just the right detail.”
