Luxury Food & Wine Holidays for Serious Tables

For a serious gastronomy traveller, the difficulty is rarely choosing the destination — it is securing the table. Three-Michelin restaurants in Tokyo, Paris and Modena book six months out. The best Burgundy and Bordeaux tastings are not on a website. The most interesting wineries in Napa or Mendoza are by introduction only. We design food and wine itineraries that solve all of this: pre-booked tables at the world's most coveted restaurants, private château and cellar visits with proprietors and winemakers, market tours with leading chefs, and hotels positioned to walk to dinner. Our specialists work across the great wine regions — Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Tuscany, Piedmont, Napa, Mendoza, Stellenbosch — and the great food cities of Tokyo, San Sebastián, Paris, Lyon, Modena, Hong Kong and Singapore.
