Feedback

  • Adventure of a Lifetime

    “My girlfriend and I had the unique opportunity to join Kris on what was the adventure of a lifetime skiing in the Dolomites. He is an expert on local culture, cuisine, and geography. His warm and welcoming personality made it feel as though we were spending time with family. The trip included countless delicious meals, excellent wine, and amazing skiing. He tailored the experience to our skiing abilities and ensured we saw the best of the Dolomites. I would highly recommend him. We will absolutely be skiing with him again!”

    - Adam, Pennsylvania, USA

  • Lean on an expert

    “When you consider the limited time you have for vacation, the money and effort to travel long distance, you want to make the most of it and create a memorable experience for yourself and your family … It's worth it to spend a little more to have an expert on your side that can help you avoid tourist traps and rookie mistakes … I respect the DIY traveler and have done it this way many times myself, but for a European ski holiday, lean on an expert like Kris and Eat Drink Fun. You'll spend less and have a better experience.”

    - Ron, California, USA

  • 100% Worth It

    “EDF’s unforgettable ski somm experiences define a genre with the right blend of style, sport, and fun. Kris knows all the tricks to make you feel like a local whether exploring on piste, ordering home style food and drinks at a cozy ski hut, or nabbing the best table at the local après ski bar.”

    - Anthony, Tampa, USA

  • Highly Recommend

    "We had an incredible experience in the Dolomites thanks to Kris and Eat Drink Fun. Wine tasting in a high alpine meadow, biking the "Sella Ronda" - views and experiences we'll cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend.”

    - Meghan, Pittsburgh, USA

    "We look forward to every EDF wine tasting opportunity. They are educational, fun, and there is no pressure, stress, or BS. Just people who love wine and sharing knowledge.”

  • Stress Free Trip Planning

    “We are very happy with every aspect of Eat Drink Fun’s recommended itinerary. To have done this ourselves would have taken hours of research. Kris applied his own insider knowledge to make it easy for us to get group consensus and get everything booked.
