Shannon made Switzerland, SWITZERLAND. From the very beginning, my wife Kristi and I were excited when we started talking to Shannon about Switzerland. She took the time to explain the whole trip thoroughly, giving us options of places to stay, places to eat, and things to do. We heard the Swiss train system takes some getting used to, but Shannon set us up completely, telling us exactly which train to take and which stop to get off on. The purpose of the trip was for Kristi and I to hike a section of the Via Alpina through the Swiss Alps, stopping at little towns along the way. Shannon did her homework on the hotels that were nearest to the trail, affordable, and had all the right amenities. She exceeded my expectations! From amazing hotels, to real life "Mario Kart" in Grindelwald First, to E-bikes in Lauterbrunnen, to 3 hour cruise on Lake Brienz. Shannon, we can't thank you enough for make this trip an unforgettable one!

I had an amazing time on a culinary tour of Italy with Shannon! She crafted a perfect itinerary that blended cooking classes and visits to charming small towns. Each class was hands-on and authentic, teaching us how to make pasta, sauces, and bread like the locals. The towns we visited were beautiful, and Shannon’s recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, I highly recommend Shannon—she’s knowledgeable, passionate, and made the whole trip seamless!

Attending the Culinary Belt in Italy retreat in the fall of 2024 was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the picturesque landscapes of the Italian countryside set the perfect backdrop for a deep dive into authentic Italian cuisine. The hands-on cooking classes were incredibly well-organized, and the local chefs were not only talented but also passionate about sharing their craft. I learned how to make everything from fresh pasta to regional specialties that I’d never seen before.
The retreat offered a perfect blend of learning and relaxation, with plenty of time to explore charming villages, savor local wines, and immerse myself in the culture. The small group setting made the experience feel personal and enriching, and the connections with fellow food lovers were just as memorable as the meals we created.
This retreat didn’t just teach me how to cook—it reignited my love for food and inspired me to bring Italian traditions into my own kitchen. I left with new s
