March 4, 2017/0 Comments/in Beer, Wine & Cocktails, Best Food, Blog, Culture, Destinations, Europe, Explore, Food, Homepage Highlights, Lake Geneva, Local Travel, Luxury, Mountains, Roadtrips, Switzerland /by Kelley

Cheese. Lake fish. Chasselas grapes. Chevreuil. Mushrooms. There’s so much good food in the Lake Geneva region, you need to come with an appetite! I toured through Vevey’s Farmer’s Market, the farms of the Pays D’enhaut, tasting the cheeses of Château-d’Oex, Michelin restaurants L’Auberge de L’Onde & La Brasserie at the Royal Savoy Hotel and sipped wines in Lavaux. Don’t miss the lake fish, the family run wineries and vineyards in Lavaux, like Domaine du Croix Duplex, and the amazing cheeses!

Food Guide of Geneva

February 20, 2017/0 Comments/in Beer, Wine & Cocktails, Culture, Destinations, Europe, Explore, Food, Geneva, Luxury, Roadtrips, Switzerland /by Kelley

Geneva is internationally known as a hotspot of luxury, culture, business and FOOD. The culinary scene in Geneva benefits from it’s prime location–next to the lake, the countryside, farmland and of course, France! The local farmer’s market in Carouge gave me a taste of the regional specialties. You’ll find a mix of food in the city center, from modern cafes to historic gourmet dining. And don’t forget to reach for that Michelin guide, the city has a high number of Michelin & Gault-Millau restaurants so you’ll be eating very well for every meal here.

Recently, I checked out the MacArthur Place, a boutique property just steps from downtown Sonoma in wine country of Northern California.. I very much enjoyed the layout of the property with all the rooms in cottages throughout a nicely manicured lawn and garden areas. The pool was a refreshing treat, as was the daily wine & cheese hour. The little luxuries here made our stay that much better and the rooms were very well appointed. Don’t miss Saddles Restaurant when you go–their steakhouse is one of the best dinners in town. For all the details: the good, the bad and the ugly, watch my review!

USTOA Live Like a Local
Food plays an integral role in the local life of Cartagena and I got a crash course in local cuisine from a chef. We explored the gritty and fascinating Bazurto Market, had a cooking lesson and then I hit up the old city to sample all the international flavors that come together to make Colombian cuisine.

There’s some incredible food in California and I decided to find the top spots along the California Coast. From Malibu to Solvang, I chowed down on the most delicious lunches, scrumptious breakfasts, tastiest dinners and best vineyards. And it was all the most easy because I was in my Jucy Campervan–it had everything including the kitchen sink on board. Let’s go for a ride!

Join me on an adventure, Cali style. I drive my Jucy Campervan up the coat, from Malibu to Solvang and miles of pretty shoreline, dramatic mountains and charming towns in between. I spend the night at Flying Flags RV Park and sleep right on top of my camper, and cook my meals out of my trunk! Convenient & Efficient!

The Food Experience at Wente Vineyards

Not only is the wine superb, the food here is a marvel in it’s own right. Much of the produce is grown in Wente gardens, tended by Dianne, the hardworking, organic gardener. Chef Matt Greco works wonders from lunch, brunch or dinner. He uses the local riches of the Livermore Valley to create mouthwatering appetizers, like the Lamb Pastrami, to succulent vegetable side dishes, to wine-fed cattle and housecured salamis. The homemade breads and desserts are top notch and the wine is the icing on the food experience here.

Wente Vineyards is one of the oldest and most famous in the US, so I went to the source, their stunning property in the Livermore Valley of California to find out how they make such good wines. I profile the vineyard and the signature wines of the Wente, from grape to glass style. Don’t miss one of the several Tasting Rooms or the Winemaker’s Studio where you get to play a winemaker and learn about blending wines. Special highlights include interviews with the family owners, Carolyn Wente and winemaker, Karl Wente.
