Experience The Flavours of Tuscany, Portugal and Ireland
Taste of Europe Tours started years ago when we took our first group of women to France to cook with Jill Wilcox, of Jill’s Table in London, Ontario.
Since then hundreds of guests have joined us on more than thirty tours with Jill to explore the culture and cuisine of Occitanie, Provence and the Loire Valley in France, Northern Portugal, and Sicily and Tuscany in Italy.
In 2021 we’ll add South West Ireland to our schedule.

In the Spring of 2021, Jill Wilcox will take two small groups on a culinary tour of her favourite sights and dishes of Northern Portugal. Will you join us? Our home for the week will be our own 17th century castle just north of Porto. On our day trips we’ll explore the foods, wines, history, art and scenery that make the region so captivating.
