Bonjour! Have you been feeling the urge to visit France lately? It's hard to ignore the popularity of hit shows like “Emily in Paris” and their portrayal of the sheer vibrance and culture of all things Parisian… We must appreciate the sheer artistry of transforming simple ingredients through skillful techniques like flambéing, sautéing, poaching, broiling, grilling, braising, and baking.

The perfect pairing for patio season in Chicago is the epic dining scene with plenty of accolades to support the claim (looking at you, the plethora of Michelin-starred and James Beard Award-winning spots)! And there's no better time to take in the award-winning dining scene than summer. Dine on a rooftop with a breathtaking view, sip cocktails along the Chicago River, and enjoy the greenery and summer vibes from Fulton Market. Below are my three favorite places to dine al fresco in Chicago this summer.

Our friend Kendra Peterson, Chef and Owner of Drizzle Kitchen, gifted herself a long weekend getaway to Corsica in the South of France and shares her experience.

Our friend Kendra Peterson, Chef and Owner of Drizzle Kitchen, gifted herself a trip through the Dalmatian Coast to experience the culture, connections with artisans, chefs, farmers, extraordinary food, and stunning weather.

Sicily, with its timeless charm and miles of captivating coastline, is irresistible. The sun-drenched cuisine, bursting with goodness and local character, equally ensures you return. Italy’s renowned chef, Fulvio Pierangelini, is the Creative Director of Food for Rocco Forte Hotels and has perfected Sicily’s most-loved dishes for the menu of the palazzo’s spectacular new restaurant, Florio, nestled in the leafy grounds of newly-opened Villa Igiea. Here, he shares with us why Sicilian cuisine will always have his heart.

While restrictions continue to shift by the minute, we sometimes have no choice but to plan with short notice. During the last two years, our role as advisors has shifted to accommodate that reality.

Between Champagne, Burgundy, Provence, and the Canal du Midi, Belmond operates a fleet of 6 luxury barges ranging in size from 4, 6, 8, and 12 passengers. Most of the barges being offered as private charters only, fully staffed with a professional crew at your beck and call.

Did you know Uruguay is just across the water from Buenos Aires? I keep on going back to Buenos Aires and fall in love with Argentina a little more each time. But Buenos Aires is not the star of this piece, Uruguay is! 

Uruguay may be the second smallest country in South America, but it is one of its true gems. Very safe, economically stable, and relatively under the radar compared to neighbors Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay is rapidly becoming a favorite among the well-traveled. 

Officially, France has only one national language.But considering how inextricably food and wine are tied to the country’s identity, gastronomy ranks a close second. While most cultures’ culinary heritage is integral to their characters, few have been as revered, both at home and abroad, as the amalgam of dishes and techniques that make up the French food vernacular.

My wife and I visited Australia in late April (think our October), with iconic stops like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef), and Tasmania. The natural, unspoiled beauty of Tasmania is reminiscent of the South Island of New Zealand and so are the extremely friendly and unassuming locals. The wines here are some of the best in Australia, too.

In my last trip to Thailand, I had the joy of experiencing urban vibrancy, lush jungle, and island life.

Quite often, clients come to us for assistance in building a broader trip around a special event. This was the case for my family this summer, heading to Spain for a friend’s wedding in Costa Brava. After a magical few days celebrating love and life, we headed on to explore the riches of Spain and discovered three absolute gems.

Just returned from an awe-inspiring trip hiking around the Dolomite Mountains and fell in love with this beautiful region of Italy. The Dolomites are located in between Venice and Innsbruck airport, just north of the famous Prosecco region.

Charleston is hot. The southern city was named the 2017 Top City in America by Travel + Leisure, and here at Huffman Travel, we can’t get enough of it! Monique and Sandi each visited Charleston recently; Monique with a group of girlfriends and Sandi with a group of travel professionals from Travel + Leisure. Here’s what they loved.
