Tuscany Culinary Tour · Wanderlust Journeys
Markets before the light, a farmhouse kitchen in the afternoon, a long table under the vines at dusk. The Tuscany Culinary Tour is planned by hand from our studio in Seattle, in a group small enough to keep everyone talking.
From the journal
Some journeys you photograph. This one you write down — in the margin of a menu, on the back of a market receipt, in the steam on a farmhouse window.
Our Tuscany Culinary Tour is planned the way you would plan it for a friend: with room in the margins. Mornings belong to the market, afternoons to a kitchen that is not yours, evenings to whoever is doing the pouring.
Everything around that — the drives, the rooms, the tables, and travel insurance arranged alongside your booking — we look after from Seattle, so the last decision left on the day is what to eat next.
Planned by hand, from Seattle.
The itinerary
A group journey through the markets, kitchens and vineyards of Tuscany — the shape of the trip is the same each departure, so you always know what the day holds.
We start where Tuscan cooking starts: a stone piazza of crates and awnings, tomatoes still cold from the night, and the morning's shopping to carry home.
A farmhouse kitchen, a long wooden board, and a pasta shape we roll together before lunch — the same one you will make again, badly at first, at home.
A walk between the rows while the light goes long, then a tasting poured by the people who farmed it and can tell you what the year did to the grapes.
Everything you made and everything you found, served outdoors as the hills turn blue and somebody finally admits they are full.
