Wine Tours anyone?


                                                                                                                                                             If you have ever traveled with me you know a huge focus is where are we going to eat!
For me everyday had to have as either the primary focus or it can be secondary if we are also touring historical areas as well, is an outstanding foodie experience.

I adore a wonderful location, a place with a story, a great chef, some wine and friends.

Here is a sample of some tours in Europe to dream about.

Tuscany Wine Tour  


This wine tour in Italy is a dream come true for wine lovers, who are looking to taste the famous and greatest wines of Tuscany along with local gourmet specialties. It is a fabulous wine tour week in Tuscany of small vineyards, a hilltop Tuscan towns, and incredible food and wine along the way. The personal connection with the people at all of the places makes the tour even more special.  

Accommodations:You will stay at a historical estate that has been owned by the same family for 9 generations. Located in the peaceful hills of Chianti, the villa is a true wonder of colors and fragrances: The park of oak trees, the typical Italian garden with its fragrant roses and lavender, lemon trees, the garden with its seasonal vegetables, fruits, and its fragrant herbs; hectares of olive groves and vineyards. Due to its privileged position, the villa is the ideal location for discovering Tuscany's many treasures.




How about staying in a Chateaux in France for a few days and having some cooking classes?

The Loire valley is known as the garden of France. It is also known for its architectural heritage, but in particular for its world-famous castles and more particularly its many cultural monuments, which illustrate to an exceptional degree the ideals of the Renaissance and the Age of the Enlightenment on western European thought and design. On December 2, 2000, UNESCO added the central part of the Loire River valley, between Maine and Sully-sur-Loire, to its list of World Heritage Sites.:the commettee said that the Loire Valley is: "an exceptional cultural landscape, of great beauty, comprised of historic cities and villages, great architectural monuments - the Châteaux - and lands that have been cultivated and shaped by centuries of interaction between local populations and their physical environment, in particular the Loire itself."
