Cooking in Chianti
April 29 - May 6, 2023
Trip Description:
Spring is the time when the dishes of Tuscan cuisine are filled with colourful vegetables and fruits, emanating natural scents. Inspired by this atmosphere we have chosen Gaiole in Chianti, a medieval village in the middle of the Tuscan hills as a refuge to be able to discover the fresh and simple flavours of this land immersed in an oasis of peace but at the same time as a starting point in the discovery of the magnificent places and landscapes that surround it.
Together we will learn to cook wonderful recipes from the region using fresh ingredients, taste the local wines and indulge our senses.

Trip Description
The Tall Ships in Norway
with Trond Langvik
May 27–June 4, 2021
July 13 - 25, 2023
Trip Description:
My cousin Trond wrote me a while ago that the tall ships would be in his hometown of Fredrikstad, Norway in July, and that I should think about doing a trip there. I didn't have to ponder long - not after the wonderful time we had in Norway in 2018. This might not be the typical cultural trip that Artful Journeys presents, but it certainly covers the culture of Norway: sea and fish. I don't have the details yet, but they will be forthcoming by the end of July.
Trip Status: CLOSED
Istanbul
with Sevan Melikyan
September 17 - 27, 2023
Trip Description:
Sevan leads us through his birthplace of Istanbul, accompanied by his sister Sheyda. This is the frontier world for me, although it contains some the world's most precious Greek and Muslim art. Dates are not yet certain
