Culinary Adventures with the Gunnells

Stuff We Love
Jan. 13, 2024

Since they met in 1994, Freeman and Megan Gunnell have been letting their appetites inspire their travels around the world. Freeman is an impressively trained cook and gourmet pastry chef, while Megan has 25 years experience in the healthcare and therapy industries. The duo are now based in Michigan and building a home—and a business—in Onekama. Gunnell Innovation, which offers market and winery tours, cooking classes (online or a private class in your own kitchen), and communal table events, also has immersive culinary tours with settings around the globe. These food and wine getaways are billed as luxury vacations with a focus on authentic meals of the region. In 2023, the Gunnells took folks to Provence and Tuscany, and this year, they’re signing travelers up for a trip to Crete, Greece, in October. Learn more at gunnellinnovation.com.
