Special ingredients that make our trips unique:

Amazing Food & Wine
There will be always amazing food, whether you are cooking with a Michelin-starred chef in France or preparing a feast with a local mama in a Tuscan farmhouse. For us, it’s all about the experience. Itineraries are carefully created itinerary allowing you to sample both a region’s most refined cuisine and its most rustic traditions.

Our wine tours are private and tailor-made tours of wineries and include access to fantastic wines and barrel tastings. We stay far away from public tours and large commercial wineries and rather have you discover small but fine family producers.

Of course we also have great connections to top growth Chateaux if that is your preference.
