Food & Wine

We’ll take you from simple cooking for sustenance into the realms of spectacular cuisine – from indigenous survival to decadent gourmet extravaganzas – what’s your taste for?

Experience – Food & Wine

With such fascinating and exotic cuisine choices in most of the countries we specialise in, it’s perhaps of little surprise that we can offer you culinary experiences that are hard to match.

Our examples are just that – so if you’d like to discuss your own tour focused on food and wine that you love, or want to discover, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s discuss how we can focus on, or interweave, any of these with your next holiday itinerary

Wine Tours

Exotic locations now create some of the best new world wines in some of the most beautiful and most scenic places. Tell us what your palate favours and we’ll distill the very best experiences for you.

Simply good food

Ask us as part of your itinerary to make sure that we select places where they go the extra mile to take pride in their food or wines – so that you’re not on a gastronomic tour but simply one where you’ll enjoy dining as part of the overall experience

Gastronomix

Talk to us if you really fancy a food-focused journey through your country of choice, where dining takes precedence over destinations but because of the journey gives you an insight into the most tempting food in the most fascinating locations.

Culinary participation

How about touring with a master chef, understanding what goes into each special dish and participating in its creation during a tour of the country? Talk to us to tempt your taste buds.

Indigenous Foods

Sit cross-legged on a mud floor whilst kneading chapatti dough, take a moment to consider whether a large white grub is really what sort of grub you had in mind – but above all experience what the local indigenous peoples create in their subsistence way of life for a true understanding of necessity and availability.
