This enchanting walled #hilltopvillage was a magnet for writers and artists for centuries. Visit for the rich history, art and sweeping views, and local wine, I mean #prosecco. #Asolo #Veneto #ItalyVacation carrotsandtigers.com/2025/07/07/d...
Rothenburg's most famous landmark, the stunning Plönlein translates into 'small place by the fountain'. It is one of the most beautiful medieval spots in #Germany. #ExploreGermany #medievalvillage carrotsandtigers.com/2019/06/14/y...
The Roman Temple in #Evora, Europe's #CapitalOfCulture 2027 is one of the best preserved in the Iberian Peninsular and a #UNESCO site since 1986. #Alentejo #ExplorePortugal #medievaltown #culturetravel carrotsandtigers.com/2025/03/31/g...
Happy #BastilleDay. On of my favourite countries full of charming cities and villages, beautiful coastlines and great (and quite different from region to region) food and wine. #ViveLaFrance #ExploreFrance
Steep #vineyards, lovely medieval villages and excellent #bubbles. The Valdobbiadene and Asolo areas, known as #ProseccoHills, are an exciting yet still largely undiscovered destination for #winelovers, foodies and natur lovers. #Italy #slowtravel carrotsandtigers.com/2025/06/23/g...
I've been blown away from the beauty of Europ's #CapitalOfCulture 2027. The historic core of #Evora is an unmissable medieval gem, boasting a mixture of Roman, Moorish, Gothic, and Baroque architecture. #Portugal #Alentejo carrotsandtigers.com/2025/03/31/g...
Loved staying at Merrill House. 14 individually designed rooms set in a 1878 Gothic Revival mansion in walking distance to from downtown Picton. Plus a great #winecellar and #MichelinStar food. #Canada #PrinceEdwardCounty carrotsandtigers.com/2019/08/30/m...
More #cocktail tasting underway. All in the name of research for the blog, of course. #mixologist #spritzbiano #aperitivo
Landgasthof Engel, a lovely country inn located in the oldest house of Schwabenheim, #Rheinhessen offering rustic local cuisine. Owned by Immerheiser Winery, running a little #tastingroom just next door. #foodandwine #Germany 📍 Am Market, Schwabenheim
Frozen strawberry gin tonic. Because it's hot outside. #mixology #gintonic #cocktailtime
We stayed at Rüssels Landhaus in a secluded valley near the #MoselRiver. A lovely #countryinn with owner-chef Harald Rüssel at the helm of two awesome restaurants and a superb annual #culinarycalendar. #foodie #culinarytraveller #Germany carrotsandtigers.com/2019/07/19/b...
Have you visited Iphofen, the small medieval #winetown in #Franken? Explore the beautiful preserved core, the stunning Rödelseer Tor and the local food and #wine. #Germany #GermanyTourism carrotsandtigers.com/2022/11/25/g...
It's called research for the blog, or more recently my substack. Are you subsribing to it already? Check it out at carrotsandtigers.substack.com. #ginandtonic #gintasting #cocktials
#Sevilla has so many impressive landmarks and historic sites to marvel at that I often feel Maria Luisa Park, full of stunning architecture and beautiful gardens, is not given the attention it deserves. #Spain #Andalusia carrotsandtigers.com/2023/06/26/s...
One of the places I'd rather be at the moment …it might or might not have something to do with that amazing pool and the current heat ☀️😎☀️ #poolvibes #hotelpool #Algarve #Portugal carrotsandtigers.com/2024/06/24/c...
Opened this delicious, crisp #Verdicchio to go with gnocchi alla Veneziana. Such a wonderful combo! #foodandwine #winepairing #ItalianWine carrotsandtigers.substack.com/p/gnocchi-al...
Not much to see here. Just #LakeGarda being Lake Garda #Italy #Veneto #summervibes
Just to not let it go unnoticed, here are a few of my favourite pics for #WorldGiraffeDay
First outdoor #aperitivo of the season. #drinkspiration #cocktailoftheday
It's called #CoteDAzur for a reason. The blue down there is truly different. #France #FrenchRiviera #Antibes
A trip down the memory lane. More coming soon on the blog. #Sirmione #LakeGarda
