La Dolce Vita: Flowers & Food in Tuscany

Feed your soul with our combined love of flowers and food
September 26th - October 2nd, 2021

Designed with the flower and food lover in mind, The Good Life's small group flower and food tours allow our fellow travelers to get up close and personal with local floriculture and floral design techniques, experience regional taste /
food traditions, and explore little-known places. If you're looking for an opportunity to feed your soul, our flower and food tours are the perfect match.

WHAT WE DO:

The beauty of our small group tours is their flexibility. The reduced size allows us to get in and out of places like local farmers' markets with ease and to easily participate in activities like harvesting locally grown food items, ranging from tomatoes to walnuts to grapes, and to go truffle-hunting - season permitting, of course.

ABOUT US:

 The Good Life: Flower and Food Tours © is the brainchild of Tammy L. Currier, a longtime floral designer and travel enthusiast, and represents an extension of her floral business, Heights Floral Designs, and a partnership with Pamela Sheldon Johns of Italian Food Artisans and Poggio Etrusco.

Tammy may possess the love and knowledge of flowers, but Pamela has the boots on the ground experience in all things food rooted in her 20+ years in Tuscany. The seed for this endeavor was planted a few years ago, when Tammy stayed at Poggio Etrusco and fell for her charms.

Please join them as they combine their shared love of Flowers and Food. Read on to learn more about Tammy and Pamela.

* You can read about Tammy's visit to Tuscany and Poggio Etrusco on One Poetic Planet - her travel blog.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

" I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I think I told you the night of the wedding how I knew you would do a great job, and it would be beautiful, but I was so surprised at how overwhelmingly beautiful the flowers and your work turned out. You knew exactly what I wanted even though I couldn't articulate it at times. You have a true gift for vision and design." - Kelly & Kyle
