We Have A Winner!

Congratulations is in order!  Anthony is the winner of jovial’s 2014 Culinary Getaway Giveaway. He and a guest will join us for an all-expense paid culinary adventure at the villa in Lucca, where they will enjoy hands-on cooking classes and a memorable vacation in the rolling hills of Tuscany.

Anthony is so excited: “Winning this trip is the chance of a lifetime.  It’s really an opportunity for me to break ground on a journey that I’ve been dreaming about for several years now.  One of my biggest passions in life is to explore where food really comes from.  It’s also an opportunity for my brother and I to explore the world together and create some amazing memories.  We share a lot of the same passions for farming, food, and the pursuit of optimal health and wellness.  I am a chef and have been cooking for most of my life.  I’m currently working with farms to reinvent the meal, and in a big way, Jovial is helping me achieve this major goal!!! ”

The response to this contest was tremendous and we want to thank all of you for your participation!  We read through family recipes, tips for eating gluten free and personal journeys to reclaiming health and wellness.  Judging the bi-weekly winners was not easy, that’s for sure.  We want to thank our wonderful panel of judges for their part in selecting the winner; Jenny McGruther from Nourished Kitchen, Diana Bauman from My Humble Kitchen, Maggy Keets from Three Many Cooks, Deborah & Rod Smith from Smith Bites, and Shauna Ahern from The Gluten Free Girl and the Chef.  If you are not familiar with these great folks, we want you to know they are some of our favorite bloggers!

We are now accepting bookings for fall cooking classes at the villa. Book your stay with us today!
