We were recently invited to tour the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin to see what Irish magic goes into brewing the world famous porter. Join us for a glimpse behind the curtain.
Staying in an Irish manor house in Ireland is an absolute must if you’re exploring the Irish countryside. One of the quintessential Irish experiences, they can be found speckled throughout the countryside and offer little pockets of homey luxury.

If you’re looking for art in Denver, your go-to destination is the Denver Art Museum. Filled with American Indian Art, Western American Art and contemporary sculptures, this museum also has a nice sprinkling of modern art gems, plus great special exhibitions.
Lovers of abstract expressionist art must pay a visit to the Clyfford Still Museum. Opened at the end of 2011 in the heart of Denver’s arts district, the museum represents the most comprehensive collection of Still’s work anywhere.
Turin (Torino in Italian) is a beautiful city filled with cafes, arched porticoes, bookstores and plenty of museums. With a hint of French flavor, and a pinch of regal charm, this northern capital of Italy’s Piedmont region is refreshingly free of the masses of tourists that populate much of Italy. It’s the perfect place to relax, take it slow, and savor the sights of Italy’s car capital.
Inside trendy Hotel Monaco in downtown Denver, award-winning Panzano serves up Northern Italian fusion fare with inventive zest while maintaining a commitment to sustainability. Decorated in hues of plum, mocha and chocolate, pen and ink drawings of Italian landmarks line the walls while the windows overlook busy city streets. Best of all the food here is as artful as the decor.
