There’s no better way to explore a new destination than to dive deep into cuisine and culture.
On a Culinary and Walking Holiday, you’ll discover the places you visit through a variety of tours and excursions meant to introduce you to local ingredients, seasonal dishes, and exquisite local wines.
Many of these vacations are hosted in townhouses, in the middle of towns, on peaceful and colorful pedestrian streets. Or you'll stay at family hotels, close to the vineyards and farms you’ll be visiting.
On some Culinary and Walking Vacations, you’ll indulge in cheese, olive oil, wine, or even chocolate tastings. You’ll visit farms, where food is produced with passion, love, and care for the freshest local ingredients. Depending on the time of the year you visit, you may participate in the grape-picking and wine-making tradition. Or you may get hands-on experience picking olives and making olive oil.
No culinary holiday is complete without joining cooking classes. Learn how to cook famous local dishes and taste the delicious results! In addition, on many such trips, expect to indulge in the most exquisite offerings at top-notch local hotels, cafes, trattorias, and tavernas.
Plus, you’ll also join walking tours and discover stunning beaches and picturesque villages. Enjoy fun days of truffle hunting, morning outings to colorful local food markets, local fish markets, and stops at historical landmarks.
