 Maria and Tim are wonderful hosts!  The accommodation was a little rustic, but I would not change a thing.

Terry May 2019

This trip was wonderful in every way. The hosts made sure we were comfortable and anticipated our every need. They were accommodating of individual wishes and preferences and responsive to input. The food was spectacular, and participating in preparations was wonderful.

 Enjoyed the cooking class!

Art   May 2019

 Enjoyed the cooking class!   And Cami was a dear - thanks to her as well!

Sue May 2019

Extraordinary week's blend of food and the culture it thrives in. Maria is the most kind and embracing of chefs. Julie and Donna are both excellent teachers that welcome their knowledge at all experience levels.  No pressure - just acceptance and a shared love of cooking. The same holds true for yoga - no pressure, just acceptance.  What a wonderful week!

 Touring

 Fascinating region in many ways:  History, culture, scenery.

Michael May 2019

 Impressive!  Bigger vehicle would have reduced group cohesion. Cozy works!

Alison May 2019

 Excellent!  Tim was very knowledgeable and fun to travel with. Restaurant selection was great - especially regional foods.

Art May 2019

 Vehicle was comfortable - incredible site visits.

Anon May 2019

 For those new to France, the amount of time given to guided exploration is very good. Will think about this and appreciate it for a long time.

Terry May 2019

 We love Maria's cooking and Timothy's hosting!  The accomodations were fantastic! We had a 'country' experience learning more about 'being in France'. Made us want to return - so much to see and experience!

Sue May 2019

Tim's knowledge added a depth that was so enriching, of all we were seeing, tasting, smelling, and hearing.

Anne September 2019

Overall 
 

 Accommodations: very clean. I loved the tour at Remy's vineyard. Maria and Timothy are excellent hosts.

Susan Sept. 2018

 It was an amazing experience. Maria & Tim made this time in their home very pleasant. A place to return for personal enrichment and connections.

Lucie Sept. 2018

 Come!  You will not forget it 'copascetic'

Patrick Sept. 2018

 Maria's cooking and cooking classes were all fantastic.  Timothy could not be more accommodating, whenever a glass was empty, transport needed, any request was fulfilled. The Mediterranean weather was georgeous, wines superb. Side trips more than could imagine. All a work of art!

Maria, Timothy, and Jesi all exemplify the passion of the French!

Rhonda Sept. 2018

 Very special experience. I feel your first food/art/travel event was extremely well done.

Lila Sept. 2018

 A trip of a lifetime, amazing facilities and instructors.

Anon Sept. 2018

 Wonderful experience. We visited quaint villages, exciting museums, georgeous vistas, ate delicious meals, and most of all, met fantastic people.
