A Tantalizing European Food & Wine Adventure with Iole Aguero

IT IS ALWAYS SO HARD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY so Earthbound Expeditions decided to weave their vibrant Latin roots into one colorful tapestry. What better way to experience the fullness of the Latin legacy than by combining the wine and cuisine of Italy with the fragrances of Provence, France? Join Iole Aguero as she hosts her 10th culinary adventure in the centuries-old debate over which of these countries produces the most delectable olive oil, most exquisite dishes and finest wines from September 12-23, 2010. On this journey you’ll meander through colorful seaside villages, lush vineyards, ancient hill towns and abundant olive groves as you experience first-hand the culinary magnificence of France and Italy with Chef Iole Aguero!
