CULTURAL & GASTRONOMIC TRAVEL CONSULTANTS
BOUTIQUE TRAVEL FOR FOODIES
As gastronomic travel consultants, we provide you with knowledge and unique insider tips on foodie destinations across the world.
We help you decide where to go, and design your adventure around local culture, food and drink – ‘eat local, drink local’.
Using our insider knowledge, we help you choose which country, region, bar, restaurant and experiences.
We show you which culinary delicacies or drink the locals are most proud of, and help you learn more about the heart and soul of each place – while making sure there’s a damn good lunch around every corner.

Inspiration
Looking for inspiration?
These are the kind of questions we have been asked…
Have a look and let us know if anything whets your travel appetite. Could it be cheese making or cooking with chocolate in Switzerland? Pasta making or wine growing in Italy, or cooking with spices or bread making in Oman?
Might you be excited about a wine tasting experience, or olive oil pairing experience in Spain? Or is a camel trek with a dinner in a bedouin tent in Jordan more your thing?
Are you hoping for us to design a foodie experience around a celebration like a marriage proposal or elopement? We could do this on a rooftop in Marrakesh, or on the top of a mountain in the alps, or in a vineyard in Tuscany, where have you always dreamt this special moment would be?
Please don’t think you are limited to what you see on the site. We can’t put everything on here, so this is just a taste of what we have done in the past.

HOW DO WE AS A CONSULTANCY DIFFER FROM A CLASSIC TRAVEL AGENCY?
- A traditional travel agency provides a product, we provide an experience, advice and knowledge
- A consultant prefers boutique and celebrates local. All-inclusive resorts or hotel chains lacking personality don’t register in our minds
- We won’t recommend places based on who gives us the best commission
- A traditional travel agency’s fee is hidden within the price you pay for the package, we quote our consultancy fee before we start work
- A traditional agency’s team sits 9-5 in an office with little time to explore, we encourage our consultants to live and breathe a food and travel oriented lifestyle
THINK LOCAL, EAT LOCAL
Think local, eat local is a priority for us.
Not only does this strategy keep local traditions alive for the future, but it also puts money back into the community and helps the people that really need it.
We organise fabulous master classes on ‘cuisines du terroir’ by locals that reveal how locals eat and drink, but also how to prepare their delicacies, as well as give you an understanding on how that food or drink helped shape the personality of the destination.
We’ll connect you with local chefs, hotels and restaurants, and particularly those with a focus on cuisine du terroir and sustainable farming.
We keep local cuisine alive.
