About our Chef

Meet the culinary maven who turned plant-based eating into a coast-to-coast sensation, Chef Tanya Petrovna. Way back in '94, Chef Tanya planted the seed that would bloom into Native Foods Cafe, right in the heart of Palm Springs. Her passion for mouthwatering, animal-friendly fare soon branched out, transforming Native Foods. 
Fast forward to 2017, when Chef Tanya decided to stir things up in her hometown once more, introducing Chef Tanya's Kitchen. What began as a humble tempeh and seitan manufacturing hub quickly sprouted into a bustling take-out deli, dishing out innovative and delectable vegan delights. Her success didn’t stop there. In 2022, Chef Tanya's zest for feeding the hungry masses led to the launch of a second location in Palm Desert.
But here's the secret sauce: Chef Tanya is a globe-trotter with a taste for adventure. She's a true foodie at heart, constantly seeking out the new, the bold, and the flavor-filled. Italy, with its rich tapestry of local ingredients, is her playground where she unleashes her creative genius. 

Frequently asked questions​

How many hours a day will we be walking or on a bus?
Every day we will be walking a minimum of 2 hours. There will also be uphill streets and stairs. The bus rides vary in time for 20 minutes to 2 hours.

I am traveling alone, will I be the only one?
No, on average we have about half the group that are singles.

Is there a single supplement? And why?
Yes, there is. It's $650 for a private room. The reason we have a single supplement is because some hotels do not offer a single rate. So as a single person you are paying a full rate of the room instead of it being divided by two.

How can I avoid paying the single supplement?
We can match guests with same-sex roommates. We will connect you by email and you can see if you are compatible to share a room. 

Is my deposit of $500 refundable?
No, we have limited space and need a commitment from each guest. Please note that the deposit of $500 per guest
is NON-REFUNDABLE except in the case that the trip does not meet the minimum number of participants.
The trip's go-status will be confirmed no later than 90 days before departure. ​

Is my flight included?
No, This is a land package only.

​​How do we pack?
We have a Zoom conference with the group before the trip to explain packing and general information, plus a packing list.
