Who We Are

We know everyone worth knowing in food.

For twenty-five years we've travelled to eat — building real friendships with the chefs, winemakers and artisans who quietly define a place. That little black book is exactly what you book.

No two journeys are alike, and none are larger than they ought to be. Every detail is chosen by hand, for you.

The Difference

Private journeys, curated just for you.

Every chef, winemaker and host on our trips is someone we've cooked alongside in person — and most groups travel six to twelve guests, never more.

Where Next

Explore by destination

Forty countries, every table personally vetted. Here's where to point your appetite next.

Knife-edge precision, sake breweries and the quiet art of the perfect bite.

Spice souks, slow-cooked tagines and rooftop dinners under an endless desert sky.

Italy

Hand-rolled pasta, hilltop vineyards and nonnas who cook like it's a love language.

Market mornings, cellar afternoons and three-hour lunches that quietly change you.

Spain

Pintxos crawls, jamón cut to order and Basque kitchens at the top of the world.

Please don't go so that we can keep Puglia as our special secret. It was the most amazing holiday we had. Gourmet On Tour just thought about everything — perfect accommodation, cooking courses and lots of surprises along the way.

★★★★★

Our lunch at La Crèmerie was probably the best meal I have ever had in my life — so far. The perfect birthday present for my husband. I have recommended your service to a number of friends and will continue to do so.

Paris à la Carte

★★★★★

We were treated like family from the moment we arrived. We ate and cooked some of the best food I've ever eaten, all using locally sourced fresh produce. We've already told friends and family how enjoyable the experience was.

How We Travel

Explore by experience

Every itinerary is built around a moment — a kitchen, a cellar, a market at dawn.

Truffle Hunting

Into the oak forests at dawn with a hunter, his dog and no map.

Wine & Châteaux

Private barrel tastings at domaines that don’t open to the public. Ever.

Culinary Journey

Food as the lens for everything — markets, cellars, kitchen tables and the odd cooking class along the way.

Intensive Cooking

Daily hands-on classes with chefs who have cooked these dishes their whole lives.

Small Group Travel

Curated departures where the group is part of the experience. Average six guests, never more than ten.

DESTINATIONS

Why San Sebastián keeps its secrets

More stars per square mile than anywhere — and the bars that never make the lists.

RECIPES

Nonna's ragù, written down at last

Three hours, one pot, and the single rule she would never break.
