What kind of journey calls to you?
Experiences
Experiences are where your trip really comes to life. It might be a week in a Tuscan kitchen, a Slow Food trail through Italy, or a villa stay with long lunches and local wines. Pick a focus — or combine a few — and we'll shape the itinerary around what you love.
Cooking & Culinary
Explore a region through its food, from the kitchen to the table.
These trips might include live-in cooking stays in a country house or villa, hands-on classes, visits to local markets, tastings with artisan producers and memorable meals in everything from simple trattorias to Michelin-starred restaurants. You don't need to be an expert — just curious and happy to roll up your sleeves (or simply enjoy the results).
Best for: Travellers who want a mix of cooking, tasting and dining experiences, with food as the main focus of their holiday.
Food & Wine
The classic way to get to know a destination.
These journeys combine carefully chosen food experiences with time in vineyards, markets and restaurants, at a comfortable pace. You might mix tastings, long lunches, relaxed walks and a few special dinners. It's the most flexible style — ideal for those who want the full picture of a region's food and wine culture without a single narrow focus.
Best for: Travellers who want a balanced mix of food and wine experiences without committing to a single theme.
Villa Stay
Stay in one beautiful base and explore from there.
Stay in one carefully chosen base — perhaps an Agriturismo, country villa, château or historic pousada — and explore from there. Enjoy excursions to nearby wineries, markets and sights, returning 'home' each day. The pace is relaxed but immersive, with time to feel like a local. It's the closest thing to actually living in a region, even for just a week.
Best for: Couples or friends who like the idea of unpacking once and really getting to know one region.
Walking & Cycling
Active but gentle — great food and wine at every stop.
Gentle walking or cycling combined with good food and wine. These are not hardcore tours — the focus is on mealtimes and local character, with gastropubs, trattorias and village beer gardens along the way. Groups are small, dates are set, and daily distances are comfortable. Think vineyard walks that end at a long lunch, or cycling through olive groves to a seaside restaurant.
Best for: Travellers who enjoy being outdoors and active, but still want long lunches, good wine and a civilised pace.
Wine Tours
See a destination through its vineyards and cellars.
These tours can include visits to wineries of all sizes, vineyard walks, discussions about production and, of course, tastings, along with key regional sights. All levels of knowledge are welcome — whether you're a seasoned collector or simply someone who loves a good glass. Itineraries can be tailored to your level of interest, from an introductory overview to an in-depth exploration of a single region or grape variety.
Best for: Wine enthusiasts of any level who want more than a quick tasting at the nearest cellar door.
Slow Food
Authentic, locally grounded journeys inspired by the Slow Food movement.
Journeys inspired by the Slow Food movement, which began in Italy to celebrate food culture and counter 'fast life'. These itineraries visit recognised Slow Food producers and communities around the world and are known for their authenticity and respect for local traditions. You'll meet the people who grow, raise and make the food on your plate — and understand why it tastes the way it does.
Best for: Travellers who care where their food comes from and enjoy thoughtful, locally grounded experiences.
Celebrity Chef & Host Tours
Travel with a well-known chef or wine writer — up close and personal.
From time to time, we feature tours hosted by well-known chefs or wine writers, with itineraries shaped around their cooking heritage or area of specialty. They travel with you for the duration of the trip, so you can share meals, ask questions and really get to know them. These are small groups, relaxed in atmosphere, and always memorable. Keep an eye on what's coming up — these tours don't stay available for long.
Best for: Food and wine lovers who like the idea of travelling with a familiar face in a relaxed, accessible way.
