Love great food and wine? You can now pair your love affair with wonderful Italian food and wine with a spectacular rafting and kayaking adventure on Oregon’s Rogue River. This trip is paradise for food lovers everywhere.

Chef Matt Morse is back to entertain and delight you with his passion for Italy’s rustic foods and fabulous wines. Matt has been Whitewater Warehouse’s resident “gourmet chef” for many years. His culinary and wine knowledge are impressive but not intimidating. His food is pure and true because it is born out of his many travels through Italy’s famed culinary Provinces.
