The Epicurean Escape

The Epicurean Escape: France & Tuscany

A Boutique Culinary Journey | Coming Fall of 2028

Some trips are planned.

Others are carefully curated.

I've been quietly crafting an experience that I hope will become one of the signature journeys of my travel agency—and I couldn't be more excited to finally share a glimpse of what's to come.

The Epicurean Escape: France & Tuscany isn't about rushing through museums or checking landmarks off a list.  It's about slowing down and experiencing two of the world's most celebrated culinary regions the way they were meant to be enjoyed.

Imagine...

• Shopping vibrant local markets with a chef before creating an unforgettable meal together.
• Sharing wine with passionate vintners in the rolling vineyards surrounding Lyon and throughout the South of France.
• Wandering the charming villages and lavender-filled countryside of Provence.
• Discovering Tuscany during harvest season, where vineyards, olive groves, and medieval hill towns create an unforgettable backdrop for every day.
• Visiting artisan producers whose wines, olive oils, and traditional balsamic vinegars have been perfected over generations.
• Lingering over beautifully prepared meals where the conversations last as long as the wine.

While I've begun designing the journey, **the itinerary is intentionally still evolving.**

I'm taking the time to personally select the right boutique hotels, authentic local experiences, exceptional culinary partners, and hidden gems—because I want this to feel less like a tour and more like being welcomed into the heart of France and Italy.

The vision is a small group of travelers who appreciate authentic experiences, meaningful connections, incredible food and wine, and the joy of discovering a destination one unforgettable moment at a time.

If you've ever dreamed of experiencing France and Tuscany beyond the guidebooks, this is it!

Because the best journeys aren't just about where you go... it's about the experiences you curate along the way.
