Nancy Maddox, MBA, RDN, LDN “Getting out of a conference room and experiencing another culture is truly a valuable experience. Layne does an amazing job curating the places to go to really maximize the trip.” Sicily 2019 Culinary Tour

"I was nervous about doing this trip and felt like Layne and Peggy did a great job communicating through the process. The guides and drivers were amazing.

Every day was jam packed with great destinations and content.

I really felt like I understood how Mediterranean Sicily was from the information learned on the trip.

I enjoyed that the places we visited were authentic and were not “touristy”. They really did help educate on the Mediterranean way of life.

Most meals were great.

I learned the differences between northern Italy and Sicily, both culturally and with cooking.

I learned how to make pasta and how to know if olive oil is real.

I learned about the benefits of ancient grains and chocolate.

I learned about the history of Sicily.

Getting out of a conference room and experiencing another culture is truly a valuable experience. I know for me the cost was a serious concern but to anyone trying to decide if it is worth it, it really is. To have the chance to interact meaningfully with other dietitians and see in practice ways of eating/culture you only read about or is truly priceless.
