"Solo Travelers welcome!!"

CDV offers cultural experiences that last a lifetime, and traveling alone is no excuse for missing out!

"Perfetto pizza every time!"

To live, cook, and eat as "Italians" for only a few days gave Lori and I a lifetime of great memories.

"A truly excellent adventure!"

No stuffy cooking classes for us, with everyone so serious worrying about their knife skills...No! we laughed, sang, threw flour at each other, made faces, teased, and laughed some more

"Mother-Daughter Trip of a Lifetime "

Cooking with Carla at the Villa, Dinner at Maria Grazia’s, La Piombaia winery, Montepulciano, Civita di Bagnoregio is extraordinary & the most stunning view at Fattoria Madonna Della Macchie

It was the most breath taking vacation I've ever had and cooking experiences i will never forget.
