Journeys through the world's culinary landscapes

There is no faster way to get to the heart of a destination than through the food of its people. From sambar to sushi, enchiladas to escargots, our luxury food and wine experiences showcases the best of a region’s culinary culture and cuisine.

Our expert travel specialists will help you organise a dining holiday that’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Our range of experiences includes luxury trains with world-renowned chefs onboard, hotels featuring Michelin-starred restaurants, and plenty of local insight to help you uncover little-known gems in your holiday destination.

For oenophiles, try a classic tour through California wine country, from Napa Valley to Sonoma and beyond, or seek vintages from around the world in South Africa’s Winelands, Argentina’s Mendoza Province or Australia’s Barossa Valley.

The world is full of exciting new flavours – let our specialists help you discover them on your next luxury getaway.

Italy

If you're seeking a holiday to tantalise your tastebuds, Italy should be on your radar. In fact, eating is one of the greatest pleasures of being there.

Marlborough Sounds Gourmet Seafood Cruise

New Zealand

The rise of the New Zealand food scene recently means there are now numerous world-leading chefs and restaurants around the country to compliment the already world-class wines the country produces.

Argentina

From steakhouses and gaucho culinary traditions to the refined wineries of Mendoza and La Rioja, discover the delicious flavours of Argentina on a luxury food and wine holiday.

Australia

Australia is a foodie's dream destination. The country's abundance of fresh produce and array of cultural influences means there is no shortage of ‘fusion food', all well worth trying. Or, fall back on the country's classic: a quintessential barbie.

Vietnam

Vietnamese cuisine is a sensational balance of fragrance, taste and colour. With Chinese, French and American influences as well as regional variations, every dish you try in Vietnam offers you something unique.

South Africa

Colourful, interesting and alien to most visitors, South African food has the potential to be the highlight of your trip. Paired with the first-rate wines available on vineyard tours, restaurants or simply in bars, and you'll see why South Africa's food and wine fame is known the world over.

California

Fresh, seasonal local cuisine is a highlight of any west coast holiday, as are world-class vintages experienced on a tour of California wine country. From citrus groves to seafood, Asian influences and some of the best tacos outside Mexico, there is plenty to satisfy any traveller’s tastebuds.

USA

Diverse influences from the local climate and produce to colonial history and native traditions mean holidays to America always showcase food. Regions such as Napa Valley and Sonoma also lend themselves to wine tours, making a USA holiday the perfect experience for foodies and oenophiles.
