Your Ambassadors to Gourmet Travel
Carefully catered small group tours to the places with the best food and wine in the world!
Fixed all-inclusive pricing means there is no need to worry about exchange rates or tips; we’ve got all your meals, beverages, entry to museums, local transportation, accommodations, and most everything else.
Our tours are designed to showcase the regional specialties of a place and to find out what makes it interesting. We will arrange great places to stay, like renovated old stone mansions full of antiques and art or cute boutique hotels in perfect urban locations. Whenever possible, the rooms will be ensuite, and we’ll have a maximum of three locations, so we’re able to slow down and enjoy the moments. We limit our groups to twelve, and we will be there to be your hosts, chauffeurs, translators, and guides.
Excursions include visits to medieval chateaux, visits to local markets, cooking classes, cheesemaking and farm tours as well as wineries and wine tastings. We will dine at both fancy Michelin-rated restaurants and more casual bistros. Everything will be completely flexible and optional to your interests and preferences, meaning if you want to sit at a café all day drinking wine or coffee, we support that!
Our small group size and expertise opens doors to experiences that few others get to enjoy. The freedom of a smaller group means a more personalized experience to steer your trip to your preferences. Optional end-to-end travel means that we will be there for you every step of the way, looking out for your safety and comfort.
Our most memorable travel experiences combine iconic landmarks, charming local experiences, and indulgent culinary delights.
Beyond Food, Immersing Yourself in a Culture
Food and wine in Europe are not only about taste – they are a reflection of a region’s rich history, traditions, and culture. Meals are more than just a way to satisfy hunger – they are an opportunity to savor life, to slow down, and to enjoy the company of others. Dining is an event, often lasting several hours, with multiple courses that allow you to fully appreciate the nuances of the local cuisine and the skill of the chef.
Farmers’ Markets and Street Food: We will wander through the vibrant farmers’ markets in towns and villages, where we’ll find fresh produce, artisan cheeses, cured meats, and homemade bread. These markets are not only a window into Europe’s dedication to very high-quality, seasonal ingredients, but often an antique market where you can buy your next family’s heirloom. Food market stalls are vibrant showcases for artisans who have mastered their traditional craft. Stores abound where we will enjoy pastries, chocolates that sparkle like gems, macarons, and hors-d’oeuvres.
Michelin Rated Restaurants: We have learned to appreciate the expertise of the guide Michelin in helping us choose where to dine, and follow their advice on all of our tours.
World Renowned Wineries Tours and Tastings: Another advantage of our small group size is it is physically impossible to fit a larger group into the tasting rooms of the smallest and most renowned wineries. We have these curated and chauffeured at your discretion. There is really something special about enjoying one of the best wines you’ve ever had from a winery you’ve never heard of before, en magnum, down the road from where it was made.
Cooking Demonstrations, Classes, and Chef Dinners: For our guests who want to get their aprons dirty we love to share what we know and bring in local experts when we can.
Cheese Tastings and Farm Tours: Exploring the artisanship in making a traditional cheese in Europe is a craft which is amazing to witness. Whether we buy the cheese direct from the farm or from the market stall, you can be sure that there will always be cheese and bread on the table. Enjoying the locally sourced ingredients cooked in the regional tradition is one of the most rewarding experiences to people who love to eat.
History: Roman mosaics, medieval villages, templar castles, battlefields. Europe abounds in accessible fascinating history that we can access to your interest.
Iconic Stays: We choose impressive locations with every comfort of home and with a real sense of the region. From chic urban locales to impressive manor homes, we have a keen eye for unique experiences in comfortable accommodations.
