Italy Without the Flight

The table is the destination.

The food. The warmth. The long dinner that turns into the whole evening, and one more glass.

Giro D’Italia brings that feeling to your table with a rotating regional Italian menu inspired by a different corner of Italy each month.

Starting June 2, the journey continues in Calabria, where the food is bold, the flavours run deep, and the table is always set for one more.

I’m thinking about adding 4 seasonal Vaughan guides per year.

They would include extra local picks, food spots, activities, and trusted businesses that don’t make it into the weekly newsletter.

I'm considering making it a paid add-on at $83/year as a loyalty price for current subscribers.
