Foodie Holidays

Explore

Anyone who enjoys cooking - or eating - food will love a foodie holiday.

We delve into a new destination - stomach first - to learn about the local flavour palettes and spices that make the region's cuisine distinctive. 

And we’ll eat like a local. Our team are as passionate about food as they are about travel. You'd better believe we've tried most (if not all) of the regional dishes, tested the local vintners and travelled to the hidden spots that proudly hold on to traditional cooking methods. We've compiled a list of the best, so you don't have to. (Hey, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it!) 

We'll meet the men and women creating world-famous produce - including master cheesemakers in Gruyere, historic wine producers in France, Spain and New Zealand and a family-run farm in Sorrento. And, of course, we wouldn't leave without trying a bite (or three). 

So, if, like us, food is a deciding factor in where you travel next, these are the holidays for you. The only question is - where's first?
