Giveaway! Food and Wine Festival @ Carrabba's

Nashville
Written By Catherine Courtney

If you've read my blog at all, you know I am always up for an adventure. There is no better way to explore a new city or country than by tasting their food and immersing yourself in their culture. There's always a sense of excitement when exploring the unknown.  

Seeing that this is prime time for Spring Breakers, perhaps you are struggling with a vacation hangover, like myself. Or you may be thinking that your next adventure is far off in the distant future.  But, it doesn't have to be!

I am partnering with Carrabba's to giveaway a pair of tickets to their upcoming Food and Wine festival that will be held in Nashville on April 1st.

There will be over 40 wines paired with Chef selected small plates and appetizers.  In addition to the food and wine goodness, there will be a Prosecco fountain and a Bellini Bar. Forget brunch- this event has it all!  Want to enter to win?  Here's what you need to do:

Welcome to Blonde Voyage Nashville!

I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality.  Between the destination restaurants, the copious amount of food photos and insanely crazy travel stories, I have decided to share my journey. 

My name is Catherine Courtney and I am a Nashville native with a penchant for culinary creativity and epic travel adventures. I'll admit... I also have a slight obsession with handbags.

Two years ago, my life changed completely.  Everything that I knew to be was completely turned upside down.  I quickly realized that time is our greatest commodity and it's not to be taken for granted. I couldn't wait for the perfect time, who knew when that would be.  I needed to take the leap and explore the world on my own.  There were so many places I wanted to go, but where would I start. 

France was always one of those places that I had romanticized.  Wandering the streets of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower were at the top of my list. Without hesitation, I booked a two week trip to the French Rivera and Paris.  It was a journey of a lifetime.  Not only were amazing friendships cultivated, but it was on that trip that i discovered that food and travel are the embers that that keep my soul on fire. 

It wasn't until I arrived back in Nashville with my passport that I realized I had been bit. Wanderlust had completely taken over.  I already started thinking about where I wanted to go next.  It was then that I decided that it was more important to have camera full of photos and a tattered journal full of stories than anything else. My heart was overflowing.

One of my favorite quotes that resonates is from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures...."

Join me as I explore near and far away places, filling my passport full of stamps and satiating my appetite with some of the most amazing cuisine the world has to offer. 

Thanks for reading!
