Where in the world is Beverly?

Join Beverly Gruber
Professional Chef and Culinary Tour Guide

Everyday Gourmet Traveler is a cooking school travel program offering small group culinary tours to Italy, France and regional United States.

Beverly Gruber, Director, is a French-trained chef and certified instructor with over fourteen years experience leading culinary tours.

Join Beverly, as she shares her love and knowledge of Italy & France with her small groups (4-12). Bev has assembled an amazing assortment of friends & colleagues to introduce you to:  the baker, the butcher, winemaker, balsamic master, olive oil producer, cheese maker, grappa producer and local cooking instructors. Plus Theresa the waitress, and chefs too numerous to mention. All are national treasures.

Because Italy & France are about much more than food, we strive to offer you a complete experience through our network of "locals", all of whom are eager to share their love of country and its rich traditions. To maximize the experiences, museum visits have professional art guides; city tours are led by knowledgeable guides and all cooking classes are taught by local experts.  You experience the REAL THING.

We stay in lodgings typical of the area but with modern accommodations. In
Tuscany we stay in an immaculately restored Villa, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves in the middle of Chianti. For the CinqueTerre/Riviera we’re in a beautiful hotel overlooking the water- the perfect setting. In Venice we’re in an elegant restored Palazzo; in Rome, a beautiful Villa/Hotel in the heart of city (yet quiet residential neighborhood), for the Amalfi Coast, we are in a magnificent villa/hotel with panoramic views of the sea; in Sicily a small boutique hotel, and in France a charming chateau.  All facilities with private baths.

Our tours are a combination of food, wine, laughter, excursions, shopping; the best of all worlds. Sharing with friends makes good times even better. Tours are scheduled for spring and fall to avoid crowds and maximize product availability. Suitable for cooks and non-cooks who like to eat.
