Stop and enjoy the bounty of a region, with all of one’s senses.
The Best Way to Experience Culture
Why Radius?
People travel to Europe and do whirlwind tours, being whisked from place to place, Cathedral to museum, from city to city. With our “Slow Tourism” philosophy you will absorb so much more of the beauty of the region!
Our Philosophy
As the term ‘Radius’ suggests, we endeavor to keep our participants experience within a certain locale. We strive for an experience of place and culture, “Slow Tourism,” if you will. See, smell, taste, feel, and literally drink it in—the terroir, the special characteristics of the earth around you that make it, and what grows from it, unique. And to that end, one must stop and enjoy the bounty of a region with all of one’s senses.
Upcoming Workshops
PREVIEW: A Wine and Food Tour of Southwestern Slovenia and Friuli, Italy
With Sommelier Katherine Haswell, October 2025
With Sommelier Katherine Haswell, October 2025
Come join Radius Workshops and Sommelier Katherine Haswell on a journey through the Vipava Valley and Goriska Brda in Slovenia, and Collio in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Northeastern Italy. These bordering regions have been producing wines since Roman times and continue to produce some of the best wines to this day. We will visit and taste wine from mostly small, organic natural producers on both sides of the border and will explore the vineyards and cellars of the area, tasting and learning as we go.
Past Workshops
Exploring Istria: Painting, Drawing and Mixed-Media in Croatia with Louise Freshman Brown June 15-22, or June 22-29, 2024
Join us on a trip to Croatia! We will be based at a country villa in Istria, Croatia, surrounded by farms, vineyards and olive orchards. Workshop participants will develop their personal vision through a series of drawing and painting processes. Students will be encouraged to explore abstraction and representational techniques, all in the unique environment of Istria. Sessions encourage interpretation, focusing on composition, color and value. Individual instruction will be stressed along with interactive group critiques. We will celebrate our successes with an exhibition at the end of the workshop.
