Want to indulge your senses in the heart of the Mediterranean? Sicily has you covered! Get ready to uncover the island’s rich history and culture, admire its extraordinary architecture, be surrounded by dramatic landscapes, and experience one of the world’s most diverse and delicious cuisines. And then, prepare yourself to unwind in exquisite accommodations with extraordinary views!
Ever since my first visit to this incredible place, I’ve been dying to host a group there and now, I’ve got the PERFECT spot!! We’ll stay at a gorgeous private villa in Taormina in the Catania Region, on the eastern coast, where the slopes of Mount Etna overlook the Ionian Sea. The culture, scenery and views, along with a unique culinary tradition, make this area one of the most special in all of Sicily.
And then there's the food. While many regions of Italy have a very distinctive culinary heritage that shares little with other cultures, Sicilian food incorporates ingredients, flavors, and dishes from every culture that has established itself on the island over the past two millennia – and trust me, that’s a long list. Plus, warm waters and frequent rains, combined with the temperate climate of Sicily, make the island a perfect place for growing a broad variety of foods…and for producing wine!!
During our journey, we’ll enjoy meals that we’ve prepared together in our hands-on cooking classes, sample local sweet delicacies, visit vineyards and enjoy tasting at exclusive wineries, walk through charming and historic villages, and of course, shop at local markets!
This island is brimming with history, nature and an endless array of flavors. it’s the perfect destination for culinary travelers like us and I can’t wait to explore it with you!
There's so much to see and do and I can’t wait to explore this beautiful region of Northeastern Italy with you!

So many places in Greece touch my heart and the island of Syros is one of my favorite hidden gems! Located in the heart of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea and under four hours by ferry, this beautiful island is truly unique. Its rich history, azure water, gorgeous beaches, delicious food, and amazing architecture are just the beginning of this incredible adventure!
And the best part? Syros is still a well-kept secret and never seems to get as crowded as its neighboring islands, yet it buzzes with life year-round and showcases the best of everyday Greek life.
Our home for this journey is the Syros Inn, a sparkling blue and white gem located in the enchanting village of Galissa nestled on the hillside of a cove at the western end of Syros. Just a few miles from Ermoupolis and the Port of Syros, we can easily take in all that this special island has to offer. This newly renovated and unique complex, surrounded by sugary-white houses with flowered gardens, white walls, blue-domed churches and paved paths, is quintessentially a Greek dream come true.
And then there’s the food! Influences from around the Mediterranean enrich Syros’ cuisine. We’ll cook and taste our way across the island using it’s fabulous vegetables, fragrant herbs, bountiful seafood, honey, renowned cheeses and expertly-crafted sausages.
We’ll also venture out to visit local markets, eat at tavernas and enjoy some of the best Greek wines. With over 600 acres of olive trees growing on the island, we will be sure to visit an olive mill for a tasting of their fruity oils. And this endearing island is so rich in history, we’ll have to take a stroll down the narrow back streets of the medieval city of Ermoupolis and hang out in Plateia Miaouli, one of Greece's best public plazas.
This is going to be an unbelievable trip and I can't wait to take you there!
