Food and Drink Holidays

Italy is all about bold taste and slow moments. Learn to make pasta and tiramisu—from the locals who know—in a Chianti kitchen on our Tuscany food and wine adventure. Enjoy pistachio gelato in a sun-soaked Palermo square or sample cannoli on our Sicily Food Adventure. Tuck into grilled lamb and rustic bruschetta on our premium walking trip through Rome, Assisi and Umbria. Or get your appetite up walking the Amalfi Coast, where limoncello and seafood pasta wait at every turn.

Southern India serves up sensory overload in the best way. On our Tropical South adventure, trek through Munnar’s misty tea hills, taste blends at an organic estate, and visit a social enterprise that supports local artisans. In Thekkady, cook with a Keralan family using just-picked spices, then share dinner in their home. From sunrise food stalls to backwater feasts, your expert local guide helps unlock the flavors that make this trip unforgettable.

Food is the heart of Spanish life—and you’re invited to the table. On our Picos de Europa walking adventure, try Queso Cabrales (a bold blue cheese aged in mountain caves) and hearty Fabada Asturiana (a rich bean stew) in cozy village taverns your guide knows by name. Snack your way through Seville’s tapas bars and markets on our Three Cities of Andalucía tour. And on our Valencia to Orange Blossom Coast ride, seafood paella and sunset toasts are always on the menu.

Sip your way through Porto with a guided port tasting on our Highlights of Portugal tour, then tuck into the grilled fish cafés your guide recommended. On our Madeira Discovery – Premium Adventure, sample poncha (a citrusy rum punch) in a fishing village, and taste six varietals at the hilltop Quinta do Barbusano winery in São Vicente. Wrap it up on our Atlantic Coast ride with ginjinha, a cherry liqueur served in a chocolate cup. This is local flavor, poured generously—and best enjoyed together.

Argentina and Chile are as diverse as they are full of local flavor. On our Discover Patagonia tour, trek among glaciers and granite peaks by day, then swap stories over a traditional Argentine dinner. In Buenos Aires, join your guide for a tango night in San Telmo—where sizzling dance meets steak grilled to perfection, empanadas come hot from the oven, and the Malbec flows as freely as the music.

In Morocco, hospitality starts at the table. On our Highlights of Morocco tour, you’ll ride camels into the Sahara and gather for a home-cooked meal under a sky full of stars. Taste semolina bread with amlou in the souks, and trek to a remote Amazigh village to learn how locals cook tagine in clay pots. Whether you’re dining at our favorite women’s cooperative or toasting with mint tea on a mountaintop, this is food worth traveling for.
