Imagine reliving the exquisite moments of that dream vacation
each time you taste a succulent dish or savour the aroma of a smooth wine. Scientific research calls it "Proustian Memory". The
chemical reaction in our bodies can cause the aroma of that perfect pasta sauce
you are whipping up in a Northern Ontario kitchen to transport you back in time
- to a village in Tuscany.
√wine tasting tour - sipping and touring amongst the grape vines.
A tour of
Italy is on my bucket list. CWT
Vacations is offering a package this October that ticks off all of my
wishes. A 10 day trip, including the must haves:
√ famous
sites
√ historic cathedrals
√ authentic
villages
AND the
luxuries of:
√ cooking
lessons with an authentic Italian Chef √wine tasting tour - sipping and touring amongst the grape vines.
For this
foodie and wine lover – no better match exists.
I image savouring each moment of this dream vacation during the 10 days
of the trip – then, returning to my own kitchen and recreating the
recipes. I see my spoon stirring the
sauce as I go back in time to a villa in Tuscany, overlooking the rolling hills
and quant villages. I will be
re-experiencing the feeling of Italy in mini-vacations from my own kitchen.
CWT Director and Tuscany tour escort, Claudia Viani, has had
this very experience. “I had flourless
chocolate cake on a train in the Napa valley several years ago. To this day the aroma of a chocolate cake
takes me back to that moment in time and the memories of an unforgettable vacation.”
I have always believed the gift of travel continued to give
after I returned home. With Proustian Memory and creative travel
itineraries, I will continue to eat and drink my way through my bucket list –
both on vacation AND during day-to-day life back at home.
