Culinary Journey to Kea Island, Greece
$5,500.00 pp* | October 2-6, 2016
Ever since Joe and I spent our honeymoon in Greece, I’ve been searching for an excuse to get back there. And I've finally found it! There's an unspoiled Cycladic island, just a quick ferry ride from Athens, which has managed to resist the pressures of time and it's the perfect spot to immerse ourselves into the Greek way of life.
We’ll cook with my Greek friends in their kitchen, harvesting grape leaves to make dolmas, using the traditional clay pot called a mastelo to roast lamb and wrapping the freshest fish in fig leaves to roast over hot coals. Of course, we’ll taste several local cheeses and some delicious wine too. Visits to markets, local artisans and craftsman are definitely on the agenda.
We’ll stay at a beautiful Small Luxury Hotel of the World, just steps from the beach. Picture yourself on your own private veranda of your suite, chilled glass of white wine in hand, gazing out at the azure blue Adriatic Sea, dreaming about what we will cook together for dinner.
Want to immerse yourself in the Greek island lifestyle? Join me on the island of Kea, a delicious week you’ll never forget!

Culinary Journey to Venice and the Veneto, Italy
$5,500.00 pp* | October 10-16, 2016
Imagine sailing up the Grand Canal in Venice on our own private water taxi heading towards Piazza San Marco! We’ll get off the boat and wander the romantic winding streets, grab a glass of prosecco, maybe a little bite of Venetian tapas and stroll through the Rialto Market. Venice is one of my favorite cities in the world and we’ll be sure to take full advantage on our full day trip there. But Venice is just the beginning of our journey!
There’s so much more to explore in this incredible region. We’ll visit my winemaker friend, Carlo Nerozzi in the village of Custoza, where you will perfect your risotto-making skills and dine al fresco overlooking the vineyards at his villa. We’ll visit my good friend, Chiara, who makes the best Soave Classico and do a special tasting and immerse ourselves in the beautiful Valpolicello countryside.
The gorgeous Serego Alghieri villa estate will be our home-away-from-home for the week. The kitchen well-appointed and perfect for a week of hands-on cooking. We’ll make the specialties of the region, such as risotto with Amarone, a Venetian shellfish salad with salsa verde, a local favorite cookie made of almonds and polenta called sbrisolona and a Venetian milkshake you won’t want to miss.
Pack your bags, grab your passport and get ready for the trip of a lifetime!
