Phil Edge

I design thoughtful luxury travel centered around the European Alps, France, Italy, wine and culinary experiences, luxury cruising, and distinctive destinations with a strong sense of place. My travel philosophy is shaped by a unique dual background: five years spent as a professional chef, followed by a career executing complex growth operations in Silicon Valley and advising growth-stage firms through Lafayette Advisory. This allows me to combine a chef’s obsession with sensory detail and pacing with an operator’s precision for seamless, invisible logistics, ensuring my recommendations always come from a lifetime of deep, boots-on-the-ground exploration rather than desk research. My primary focus areas bring this execution to life for travelers who want to avoid generic luxury. As an avid skier with a home in Park City since 2012, I know the world’s best peaks inside out and specialize in the subtle nuances, mountain logistics, and seasonal rhythms of the premier ranges across Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France. Drawing heavily on my fine dining background, I build exceptional culinary, wine, and cultural itineraries focused on the distinct regional textures of France and Italy. For nautical journeys, I map out intimate, high-touch experiences with elite boutique and expedition operators like the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to prioritize a slower, more intentional rhythm. From securing rare, private access to places like Versailles to coordinating seamless multi-country transfers, I manage the moving parts so your entire trip feels effortless, lived, and deeply personal.
