How would you like to travel?
Travel Styles
How you like to travel matters just as much as where you go. Choose the style that feels most like you — from fully hosted private journeys to independent itineraries with support in the background.
Private Journey
Our most personalised way to taste the world.
Private journeys are designed just for you and your travelling companions, with your own driver and/or guide in a private vehicle. You choose when you travel, and we tailor the itinerary around your interests, pace and budget. Every detail is pre-booked so you can relax and enjoy the experience. It may be just two of you, your family or a bunch of friends — the journey is shaped entirely around your group.
Best for: Couples, families or friends who want a fully hosted, made-to-measure food and wine holiday.

Small Group Tours
Perfect if you enjoy meeting others while you travel.
Small group tours have fixed departure dates and capped group sizes, with a set itinerary led by a tour guide and/or driver. They can often be more cost-effective and are ideal for solo travellers or couples who like the company of like-minded people. Departure dates are fixed, group numbers are capped, and it's best to confirm your tour before booking flights so your dates line up.
Best for: Solo travellers and couples who enjoy shared experiences and a ready-made group.

Independent Itineraries
Structure and support, but freedom to explore at your own pace.
Independent travel means we design an itinerary for you to follow, but you travel without a full-time guide. We pre-book your accommodation, transport and key food and wine experiences. Where tastings are involved, we'll include transfers or a driver so you don't need to worry about driving. Your days might also include shared day tours, where you join a small group for a particular experience, then continue on your own.
Best for: Confident travellers who like structure and support, but prefer to explore day-to-day in their own way.

Ocean Cruise
Classic cruising with a food and wine focus.
Food and wine-themed ocean cruises may feature guest chefs, degustation dinners, cooking or cocktail classes, wine tastings and shore excursions to culinary highlights and wineries. It's an easy way to visit multiple destinations in one holiday, while unpacking only once. These curated departures are selected for their food and wine programming — not just any cruise makes the cut.
Best for: Travellers who like the comfort of a small ship and want to combine classic cruising with a food and wine focus.

River Cruise
Intimate ships gliding through countryside and into the heart of towns.
Intimate ships (usually 80–120 guests) glide through countryside and into the heart of towns, especially in Europe and Asia. Our featured departures have a food and wine focus, often with a guest chef or specialist onboard and dedicated shore excursions to markets, wineries and local restaurants. River cruising combines effortless travel with genuine immersion in the places you visit.
Best for: Those who prefer smaller ships, scenic cruising and easy access to towns and markets.

Canal Barge
Slow, peaceful travel through Europe's most beautiful waterways.
Small barges travel along rivers and canals in Europe and the UK, usually carrying 8–16 guests. It's peaceful, slow travel: unpack once and watch the countryside drift by. Fully crewed departures often include a gourmet chef, market visits, cooking demonstrations and nearby winery visits. Days are unhurried, meals are excellent, and the scenery changes gently as you go.
Best for: Small groups of friends or couples who enjoy intimate, unhurried travel with a strong food and wine element.

Many travellers mix styles — a private journey with a couple of shared day tours, or an independent itinerary with river cruise segments. Let's talk through what works for you.
