Food and Drink Tours

Italy is all about bold taste. Make pasta the local way on a Tuscany food & wine adventure and enjoy Tuscany Walks through vineyards and wineries, Chianti in hand. Your guide will show you where to get the best pistachio gelato and cannoli on our Sicily Food Adventure & tuck into grilled lamb on our walking trip through Rome, Assisi & Umbria. Sip prosecco on the ‘Prosecco Road’ – Italy’s oldest wine route. Or get your appetite up walking the Amalfi Coast – limoncello and seafood pasta at every turn.

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), hearty Fabada Asturiana (a rich bean stew) and local cider 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 and enjoy lunch and wine tasting in an 18^th-century Douro winery. 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.

In the Mekong Delta, hospitality runs deep. On most of our Vietnam small group tours, you’ll travel by wooden boat past floating markets and fruit orchards, then settle in at a homestay guesthouse built in traditional Delta style. Share a home-cooked dinner of local specialties and gain real insight into daily life from your warm-hearted host. With the river flowing outside and fresh flavors on your plate—think coconut candy, rice paper, and tropical fruit—this is Vietnam at its most flavor-packed.

In Greece, food is connection. On our Highlights of Ancient Greece tour, your guide knows which seaside taverna serves the best catch—and where the wine is plentiful. Cruise the Aegean on a traditional kaiki for a barbecue of Greek mezedes on our Dodecanese Islands trek, then learn to cook local dishes and sample island-grown wines. On our Evia walking tour, trek between mountain villages and dine in tucked-away tavernas, just like the locals do.

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.

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.

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.
