Tuscany! Join me for an Artfully Tasteful Tour of Tuscany 9-27 to 10-4-14

Let’s slow down and savor life the way they do in Tuscany…

Sometimes we need to distance ourselves from real life in order to gain perspective. After my fourth trip to this region, I have come to the realization that I love the Tuscan lifestyle!  I love focusing on the meal at the end of the day, with an appreciation of the fresh food and great wines that this region has to offer.  

I have a dream…

I am hosting a trip back to Tuscany combining all the things I love: Travel, Great Food, Cooking, Wine, Art, Teaching, Friends, Music…it’s a dream fulfilled! 

Let’s share the peace and tranquility created by the beautiful scenery.  

Let’s share the experience of making art in beautiful settings. Personal and intimate connections occur with locations and people when you take the time to paint or sketch them while traveling.  

Let’s learn more about how to cook “Tuscan style”…
and have a good time doing it!  

Then let’s relax and enjoy delicious food and great wines! 
With home-prepared breakfasts, and dinners prepared by our excellent chef: 5 course gourmet meals and wine included in your price.  

In the process I hope we can cement new friendships and make some great memories.

Prerequisites if you would like to join us:

1. A positive attitude and a capacity for laughter
2. Willingness to dwell on beautiful things and/or indulge others as they dwell on them
   
3. A taste for farm-to-table organic foods and wines,  
   
4. Willingness to explore incredibly beautiful and wonderfully medievel Tuscan towns.  
   
5. Interest in learning about art, and/or making art through drawing, painting, photography, and/or writing.  
   

   If you aren’t an artist, then you can either indulge us when we talk about these things or do your own thing…take a walk, swim in the olympic size pool, grab a nap, read a book, write your novel, make notes in your journal, or take advantage of #6…

6. Have an interest in Optional opportunities to cook with my favorite Tuscan chef, Andrea Anichini?  If you are part of this trip, then you can enjoy some cooking lessons..how fun will it be to learn a few of Andrea’s Tuscan Tricks of the Trade?! And yes…he is just as  FUNNY AS CHARMING AS THIS PHOTO IMPLIES! (He is also a sommelier!)
