Imagine yourself sipping champagne poolside, in beautiful expansive conversation with fabulous new friends recalling the amazing day you just spent together Meanwhile our private chef, Jeff Soens, creates another mouthwatering dinner graciously offering to show those interested in learning how to recreate the magic for themselves when they return home. And if they wish to make this perfect slice of heaven home, there will be an opportunity to meet and chat with expats who have done just that!
Picture it! You’ll be taking in the markets, experiencing private jewelry-making & sculpting classes, eating delicious food, brocanting, touring Chateaux, gardens, and distilleries, exploring river and seaside villages, and enjoying 6 nights of Chateau living!!
Luxury and delights in abundance!
Meet Your Hosts
Wendy Harrop has been leading culinary-centric trips to France for solo female travelers since October 2021. Using her experience from a 3-decade career as a wedding planner, she intentionally curates itineraries highlighting her client’s comforts and needs and celebrating the entrepreneurs she partners with to provide exclusive and unique experiences.
Susan Hays has lived in France with her family for over 2 decades. Settling in the Charente Maritime and hosting guests in her stunning guest house has made her an expert in finding the area's most fabulous experiences and best-kept secrets. After helping an expat locate the perfect property, (yes, the same Jeff that is our private chef!) she and her husband found their latest venture of House Hunting for clients looking to relocate to their beloved region of France.
