From local culinary events to culinary travel, let professional chef, The Exploring Chef, indulge your passion for culture, food and wine
Jenn Stokes (also known as The Exploring Chef) is a passionate, professional chef, excited to share food and wine from all over the world by creating engaging local cooking classes, wine pairing events and culinary travel experiences for people who are looking for a single unique evening all the way to a trip across the world.
Picture yourself waking up in the heart of the Tuscan hills, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, rolling countryside, and the timeless beauty of Italy.
I am currently creating a very special Tuscany experience for September/October 2027, centered around a carefully selected Italian villa in a prime location for discovering everything this magical region has to offer.
While the itinerary is still taking shape, imagine relaxing days at our beautiful villa, visits to exceptional wineries, exploring charming hilltop towns, leisurely day trips, incredible food and wine, and a few special surprises along the way. This will be more than just a trip—it will be an opportunity to slow down, savor Tuscany, and experience la dolce vita with a wonderful group of fellow travelers.
The details are coming together, and I cannot wait to share what I have planned!
