Her evocative storytelling captures the romance, warmth, and sensory beauty of Tuscany, the very essence that inspires this year’s celebration. Frances will share reflections from her books and personal experiences in Tuscany that continue to inspire her and readers around the world.
Together, the flavors, wines, and words of Tuscany will create an unforgettable evening that celebrates passion, tradition, and the art of savoring life.
