In 2006, Michael and Paola were at their summer home in Italy. Over the years, friends and family had visited and told them how their time with them was the most unique and special part of their trip, usually leaving in tears. One day they happened upon a group of strangers that were tourists in need of help, and took them under their wings, much as they had always done with their friends and family. The result was the same, and that day they realized that their was a completely different way to approach tourism, and Culture Discovery Vacations was born with one idea in mind: What would we do in a given location if close friends and family were visiting us? Not the traditional "sightseeing tour", but a true experience of being part of the place you are visiting, WITH the locals.

What a week in Croatia!!!

First, we spent the day on Brač with Mislav’s cousin Goran, ate way too many ćevapi, and went for a swim at the Golden Cape! Then yesterday, after pottery class with Branka we ended up at Marko’s konoba, drinking local wine and singing right along with a live klapa crew late into the night!

Mamma Etna welcomed us to Sicily! We hiked the most active volcano in Europe, learned about what makes her so magnificent (besides inspiring the shape of arancini) and tasted the incredible wines it produces. 🍇🌋

There's something special about the Douro Valley (where Port Wine is born)... Vineyards as far as the eye can see, terraced slopes carved into the mountain, and a peace impossible to describe!

( From Michael ) - Have you been to Soriano? Were you one of the brave? Or did you look up and say "yeah, I'll pass" ?...

( From Michael ) - Have you been to Soriano? Were you one of the brave? Or did you look up and say "yeah, I'll pass" ? Were you one of the people that tried it, looked up at me and said "And?" - Or maybe you were one of the people that tried and stomped your feet on the floor for ten minutes? Whichever you are, you have surely had some kind of experience with "Inferno". And if you have not been to Soriano, well... prepare thyself before you come! 140 proof grappa from the still. About 100 chili peppers per liter - cut open and soaked in the grappa for a year. Is it more alcohol or more heat? Yes. And today a new batch is "cooking". I'm curious... Were you the person that slammed the glass on the table and said "Now give me something that is ACTUALLY hot", or the one that ran screaming to the bathroom? Or were you somewhere in between? I really wanna know. And if you have not yet, tell me how much you are looking forward to it... and I will leave you with one word of wisdom: MuuuHaaaHaaaahaaa!
