SHEPARD FOR A DAY

Mahon, Spain

You will be welcomed to a family farm and introduced to the lifestyle and operation of the farm. Learn the intricacies of milking and shearing sheep and how to make goat cheese. Then it’s time to savor a meal around the family table and sample local cheeses, fresh baked bread, cured meats and of course, wine.

SHOP FOR DINNER AND SET THE TABLE

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Navigating through a market bustling with locals, there will be opportunities to ask the butchers for the best cuts, the fish monger for today’s catch or to haggle with the grocer for the best price on vegetables. After the shopping is finished, it’s time to enjoy a traditional Argentine dinner “at home.”

FISHING WITH THE NATIVES

Portofino, Italy

Spend the day with a local fishing crew, watching them haul in the day’s catch on the stunningly beautiful Ligurian Sea. Of course, no day at sea would be complete without a meal of traditionally prepared, just-caught fish followed by a refreshing dip in the sea off the coast of Portofino.

ARDMORE VILLAGE & INSPIRATION OF A LOCAL ARTIST

Waterford, Ireland

At the Brigid Shelly Gallery in Ardmore, the locat artist known affectionately as “The Cow Lady” guides you during a hand-on painting class in her studio. Shelly loves to capture landscapes and people on canvas but admits that she is a bit fascinated with painting the local cows. Everyone returns home with their own personal masterpiece.
