Crete, Greece

The Birthplace of the Mediterranean Diet

With its rich gastronomic heritage and exceptional flavours, Crete offers a culinary experience like no other. One of the highlights of Cretan cuisine is its emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From vibrant fruits and vegetables to fragrant herbs and aromatic olive oils, the flavours of Crete are vibrant and enticing. The island boasts olive groves aplenty, producing some of the finest extra virgin olive oils in the world! Little known in America, Greek wines are a beautiful discovery. With its stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and exceptional flavours, Crete truly embodies the essence of an Epicureans Culinary Adventure. It is a place where food becomes an adventure, and every bite tells a story of Cretan traditions and centuries-old culinary wisdom.

Anthony and I fell in love with Tuscany a few years ago. It is all about the small towns and community feel. We vowed we would come back! We are excited to launch it as our second destination of our culinary adventures! Tuscany could not be a better destination for an Epicureans Adventures: the wines are fabulous and the food devine! Oh Tuscan wines! So much to discover in such a small territory! Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile, Super Tuscan.....

The Tuscan Villa

We found the perfect villa to settle in. A typical Tuscan Villa with wood beams, a big kitchen, a fabulous dinning room to host all our meals, a beautiful rose garden, a big pool with views of the Tuscan hills to refresh, an outdoor dinning area with wood pizza oven to dine Al Fresco and 12 private rooms with private ensuite to rest. It is perfectly located in the heart of Chianti Region between Florence and Siena, in Poggiobinsi in the middle of the rolling hills of the country side. It is within easy reach of several famous wine regions ( Chianti, Montalicino just to name a few;) and picturesque fortified towns (Montegrigioni, San Gimigiano, Certaldo, Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano). The perfect base to make the most of our Tuscany Culinary Adventure!
