Like the Slow Food movement, Slow Travel offers an antidote to today’s fast paced commercial culture. Join Slow Food in the Tetons founder, Sue Muncaster, and Exum Mountain Guide’s chief guide, Christian Santelices, as they share their recent quest (with kids in tow) for good food, rock climbing, culture, diversity, and life’s simple pleasures while traveling in Italy and France.

Highlights include a Tuscan cooking school, an organic goat cheese farm, the Chamonix farmer’s market, Italy’s oldest grape harvest, Slow Food International’s Terra Madre (the largest gathering of small-scale food producers in the world), the ice caves on Mount Blanc, medieval villages, and climbing along the Azure Coast. Through a lively multi-media presentation, you’ll discover whether traveling with kids is more difficult than climbing a Himalayan peak; if climbing limestone over turquoise waters and artisan pecorino are really worth it; and if the snail will really win the race.
