Well we have to eat, don’t we? Yes we do, and we would like to eat well. Food & Wine getaways are the perfect way to recharge, and explore culinary worlds that you may not find in your own kitchen. Leave the frozen dinners home in the freezer, and let professionals cook for you, for a change! From cooking classes, to prix fixe dinners, to all-day wine-tastings, we’ve got you covered.

Golightly GetawaysFeatured GetawayChicago Cuisine GetawayHave you been firmly sticking to your diet/workout plan, and feel like you really deserve a good splurgey weekend? If you answered "not really", you should probably ask yourself again. Seattle Cuisine GetawaySeattle's weather is typically rainy, which can hinder most outdoor activities. Thankfully, there's eating, which is primarily an indoor activity! And what Seattle lacks in Vitamin D, it makes up for in Vitamin Great Food. If that is not an actual vitamin, it really should be. Seriously, when George Costanza proclaimed "Seattle is the pesto of cities", the food connotation was no accident. Seattle is a woefully underrated food-destination, which means you can be all "cutting edge" by scouting it out first. Tuscany & Umbria Getaway
Tuscany & Umbria are calling. Answer them. There is no better place in the world to experience wine, food and history. Or, if you're feeling lazy, just wine and food. Walla Walla Winery Getaway
You should go if, for no other reason, than to be able to say "We're going on a Walla Walla winery weekend!" "Walla Walla" is just plain fun to say. It's also just plain fun. Be forewarned, if you are not a fan of wineries, this is definitely not the destination for you. Walla Walla is a small, charming, sleepy town. Small, charming and sleepy is precisely what you want after a long day of wine-tasting. The number of wineries is dizzying, and you'll be dizzy enough from all the wine. |
