What do people do on holiday ? Everyone eats! Many travellers plan their holidays solely around food - researching destinations, accommodation and restaurants so as to best enjoy the cuisine. Foodies might enjoy a cooking class – typically these start at the local market buying the fresh produce of the day, progress into the kitchen and then finish at the dining table – a great holiday experience!

The Top Foodie destinations in Europe are Italy, France and Spain, whilst Asia is hugely popular for foodies with Vietnam and Japan fighting for the top spot. China, Thailand and India are also favourites with Kiwis.

Our cooking school in Vietnam is a unique highlight for all our travellers to Veitnam (as is the motorcycle tour through Hue!) - we have all been to Vietnam so we can offer extensive knowledge and experience to give you a unique holiday.

Europe is our huge destination and we personally travel their every year. Italy is the top favourite and we have explored this country from top to toe. We have eaten pizza in Sicily (the best), pesto in the Cinque Terre (divine), picnic'd on the shores of Lake Garda and the hilltop of Montalcino, drunk Limoncello in Amalfi and dined in a Michelin restaurant in Tuscany. We have taken trains, planes, buses and cars, we have biked and walked and stayed in villas, convents, boutique hotels and sailed yachts. Our Boutique Italy show will entice you in all things Foodie.

If Tapas are your thing then don't miss our Boutique Mediterranean show, we also feature Greece and Turkey.
