Chef Tables:

This is the way to have a meeting or impress your clients, a communal table with the chef visiting at dinner.  This is a
great way to have a family gathering or getting friends together for a fun and fulfilling evening.

We can arrange communal or chef tables for groups of 6 or more - however they are limited to a maximum of 12 and
in some cases 8.  Our wine dinners and events will also amaze you and your friends - we have many programs, from a
pre-fixe menu to open menus with wine pairings and some include scotch and beer pairings.  

You are only limited by your imagination, let's talk about your fantasy dinner event or favorite chef and see how we
can make an evening with your favorite chef come true.

Thinking outside the hotel or cruise box:  (it's more affordable then hotels and resorts in most cases!) ********

One of my favorite vacations to plan is those that not only surprise and please, but also create a true experience that
you will never forget.  Anyone can book a hotel, flight or even a basic cruise - and most of the time this meets and will
exceed a clients expectations.  

So lets talk about the other types of vacations and holidays that are in many cases more affordable then conventional
vacations.  Here are a couple of vacations and holidays I have designed for my clients.

                                              Apartment in the city************any city around the world
                                              Private home or cottage********1000's are available for your holidays
                                              Villa or a Castle*******************the ultimate experience - many secret properties
                                              Private Yachts*******experience ports of call that other ships can't

Your thoughts may be on the options that are available, but there are some questions?  Unlike a hotel or cruise, you
have many other options to create a special unforgettable experience.  From shopping for yourself at the local market
or eating out at local bistro's and cafés, your are often staying in hidden apartments or homes in the city or country
side that gives you a true feeling of how the people of the region live.   Being apart of their very special life style with
experiences that no tour guide or tour company can supply.  What are some of the things that can be arranged with
your private abode:

                                              
Personal Chef Services
                                              Staff - Caretakers
                                              Personal Concierge Services
                                              Personal Guides

Activities are limited only by your desires and budget - I have designed menus and feasts, entertainment and special
activities that can be performed by the local experts in the area you are visiting.  Special activities that not only grow
your understanding of the region, but stimulating in many ways - educational - culturally - spiritually.

                                                                                      
Cathedral and Church tours
                                                                                      Cooking Classes and Demos
                                                                                      Winery Tours and Meals
                                                                                      Market Shopping
              
This information is a brief list of options and some of my thoughts that may peak some interest on your part.  I love
making the fantasy holiday come true and planning your next vacation or group gathering, maybe a team building
experience or benefit for your special cause. Let's talk about your next event or holiday.
