🎄🇮🇹 Only ONE Room Left for Christmas in Tuscany! 🇮🇹🎄

Have you ever dreamed of spending the holidays in Tuscany, surrounded by twinkling lights, medieval villages, festive markets, and incredible food?

There is now just one room remaining for this magical Christmas experience in Cortona, the beautiful Tuscan hill town I am fortunate enough to call my part-time home. This isn’t a rushed sightseeing trip. It’s an opportunity to slow down, embrace the season, and experience Christmas in Italy like a local.

You’ll stay in a beautiful five star hotel in the heart of Cortona while enjoying authentic experiences throughout Tuscany and Umbria. Together we’ll wander through charming Christmas markets filled with handmade gifts, artisan crafts, local specialties, and festive treats—perfect for finding unique treasures to bring home. We’ll visit historic towns dressed in their holiday finest, enjoy seasonal food and wine, and experience the warmth and traditions that make an Italian Christmas so special.

And perhaps my favorite part of the week? You’ll be welcomed into my own home in Cortona for a very special dinner. We’ll gather around the table, share stories, enjoy wonderful local food and wine, and celebrate the season with true Italian hospitality.

This is the Italy I grew up loving. The Italy beyond the guidebooks.

If you’ve been thinking about joining me, now is the time. Once this final room is booked, the tour is completely sold out.

BOLOGNA AND ITS NEIGHBORS

There are only a few chances left to travel with me to Italy in 2026. My “Bologna and its Neighbors” tour has just five spots left! And it’s one of my most delicious destinations!

Picture:

The scent of simmering ragù drifting through medieval streets. Fresh pasta rolled by hand exactly as it has been for generations. Parmigiano Reggiano aging quietly in enormous warehouses. Family-run producers preserving traditions the world is slowly forgetting.

This October, I invite you to experience it all with me on an intimate culinary journey through Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna region — the gastronomic heart of Italy. 🍷🍝
Together, we’ll:
✨ Visit artisan Parmigiano Reggiano producers
✨ Taste authentic aged balsamic vinegar in Modena
✨ Visit a family-run prosciutto producer
✨ Learn to make fresh pasta by hand
✨ Wander Bologna’s vibrant markets and hidden alleyways
✨ Share unforgettable meals and regional wines
✨ Slow down and truly savor Italy

Bologna will be our home for the week as we immerse ourselves in the food, culture, traditions, and warmth of this incredible region — not as tourists, but as welcomed guests. Stay in a beautiful 4* hotel steps from Piazza Maggiore. Enjoy one of the most delicious breakfast stations before setting out for the day!
What makes these journeys so special isn’t just the food. It’s the people. The stories. The connections made around long tables.

As a native Italian, my goal is not simply to show you Italy — it’s to help you feel connected to it.

This experience is intentionally small and intimate, so every moment feels personal, relaxed, and authentic.

If you’ve been dreaming of Italy… this may be your sign. ❤️

🍋**Just Added to Our May Amalfi Culinary Adventure! 🇮🇹**

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just added a *delicious hands-on cooking class in Sorrento* to our weeklong Amalfi Coast food & wine experience! We’re once again returning to one of my favorite Italian families on the coast, wait until you meet Roberta and Marida, and the amazing dad of the family: Jack, who loves to share his homemade wine he calls “Jack’s Juice.” 🤣
We’ll be learning traditional regional dishes with the warm, welcoming family at a private villa set among fragrant lemon and orange trees, manicured gardens, a pool, and beautiful ceramic-adorned *pergolato* in sunny Sorrento.
In the afternoon, you’ll have shopping time in amazing Sorrento!

🥕 What’s in store?
✨ Start with freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon plum cake, and Neapolitan coffee upon arrival.
🍝 Spend about 3 hours preparing classic Sorrentine and Campania dishes from appetizer to dessert — all guided step-by-step in a relaxed, authentic Italian setting.
🍷 Take a break to visit the family’s wine cellar and taste their handcrafted wines paired with local cheeses.
🍽️ Then sit down to *feast on what YOU helped create* — by the pool or under the shade of the pergolato!

This is *more than a cooking class* — it’s a cultural immersion with delicious food, beautiful surroundings, and unforgettable memories.

👩‍🍳 If you’ve ever dreamed of learning Italian cooking straight from the heart of Sorrento, this is your chance — and I’d *love for you to join me* for this incredible week exploring food, wine, history, and the stunning Amalfi Coast! 🇮🇹 ✨

📆Dates: May 2 – 9, 2026
💵Investment: $5,600 in classic room for the week, or $6,100 in deluxe sea view room. Only a few rooms remaining!
