A Culinary Society: Who We Are
With more than three decades in hospitality and experiential travel, Trish has built a career centered on relationships rather than transactions. As Founder and CEO of A Culinary Society, she curates intimate journeys hosted by local hospitality professionals across Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond, each designed to foster curiosity and meaningful exchange. Trish’s team is now made up of sommeliers, photographers, cigar specialists, and digital marketers to ensure the overall guest experience is elevated on all levels.
Finding Luxury in a Chestnut
As Christmas season approaches once again, I couldn’t help but to recall that moment and think of it as a highlight from my Switzerland journey; something that didn’t seem real came to life in my hands and provided a joy that I hadn’t really ever thought possible. I have since brought that experience home with me and now roast chestnuts over a fire during the holidays, sharing that joy with my friends and family.
The Gift That Doesn’t Sit on a Shelf
Experiences age well. We continuously revisit stories and photos, and reflect on the moments that defined it.
Our Table is Growing
If you’ve traveled with us before, you already know that A Culinary Society is all about unforgettable journeys where food, culture, and friendship come together. From shared meals to once-in-a-lifetime adventures, our heart has always been in creating moments you’ll carry long after the trip ends.
Now, we’re excited to share something new. Starting in October 2025, we’re setting our sights on some of the most inspiring places in the world. Our very first expanded journey takes us to the rolling hills and timeless kitchens of Tuscany, Italy—and that’s just the beginning.
Havana: Culture & Cuban Cigars!
As someone who’s spent decades wandering this beautiful world, I’ve learned to recognize the rare places that feel utterly timeless. Havana is one of them.
This city wrapped me in color, music, and old-world charm in a way few destinations still can. If you’re considering Cuba, let me be the one to tell you: go. And don’t wait.
Savoring Cuba: A Day of Movement, Earth & Michelin Magic
Cuba moved me in a way I didn’t expect.
This day in Havana was not just a tour — it was a tapestry of rhythm, soul, and flavor. If you're someone who seeks meaningful travel — not just pretty pictures, but experiences that linger — then this journey belongs on your list.
