Taste of Europe Tours

Our 2021 tours have been rescheduled for 2022.

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.

We recently added South West Ireland to our schedule. Stay in touch for more information. With global pandemic travel restrictions, our 2021 tours are rescheduled for 2022.
