TESTIMONIALS:

This Provence experience was an absolute dream come true! Each day was
perfectly curated, blending relaxation with unique local experiences—from truffle
hunting and goat cheese tasting to scenic hikes and yoga sessions. Every
activity felt authentic, and the cooking classes were especially memorable. I left
with not only new skills and unforgettable memories but a true sense of
Provence, its culture and traditions. I can’t recommend this experience enough!     Marcy, Allentown, PA

Provence captured my heart during this trip! Tasha paid such incredible
attention to detail, from wine tastings and olive oil samplings to personalized
cooking classes. The entire week was a feast for the senses, with gorgeous
views, delicious food, and beautiful accommodations. I loved the thoughtful
pacing of each day, where we had time to enjoy local markets, enjoy a leisurely
lunch, and unwind with massages. The farewell dinner was a perfect finale to an
already magical week. This was so much more than a vacation; it was an
immersion into the charm and beauty of Provence.     Lynn, Los Angeles, CA

Provence was even more enchanting and awe-inspiring than I had expected, and this experience is one I’ll never forget. Each day unfolded like a carefully crafted story, whether truffle hunting, perfume making, wine-tasting, or shopping at a local farmer’s market. The itinerary was the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility, from exploring beautiful villages and immersive art experiences to restorative yoga, nature walks and a sound bath. I especially enjoyed the exceptional cuisine, and learning to cook classic French dishes with professional chefs. The best part of all was the laughter and spending time with other great women. Tasha made Provence come to life in a way I’ll always cherish.     Christy, Santa Monica, CA

I didn’t know what to expect going in, but this week in Provence exceeded all my
expectations. Each day offered something new and engaging, whether it was an
intimate wine tasting, a visit to a local art exhibit, or a nature walk through the
Cedar Forest. The team managed to strike a perfect balance between leisure and
exploration. I especially enjoyed the goat cheese farm visit and the day in the
Lourmarin market, where I got to experience true Provençal life. This was my first
time in the region, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. I left feeling
completely recharged, with wonderful memories and a newfound love for
Provence. This trip was everything I could have wished for and more! The property was beautiful, our hosts were incredibly knowledgeable, and each activity felt tailored
to our interests. I particularly enjoyed the morning yoga sessions, perfume
workshop, and game night—every detail was thoughtfully planned. I came away
with special souvenirs, wonderful new friends, and memories that will stay with
me forever. Every moment was memorable, from relaxing with a glass of wine
after the day’s adventures to our final farewell dinner. A once-in-a-lifetime
experience!      Hana, Los Angeles, CA
