Food & Wine Trails

 Epicurean Tours

All our travel programs are small to ensure a highly personal experience that cannot be gleaned from guidebooks or purchased from conventional, “mass market” travel agencies. Participants travel with a small group of like-minded individuals who want to explore a region through its artisan food and wine. In partnership with experts, chefs and winemakers, we offer a “behind-the-kitchen-door” or “behind-the-wine-barrel” perspective - special access that enables travelers to enjoy lunch with the chef or a tasting with the winemaker.

So putting a simple but great meal on the table is child’s play.

Provençale Cuisine cooking classes and Foodlovers’ Getaways in Arles

In our culinary tours, we begin each week with a visit to the outdoor market of Arles, the largest in France with over 1300 merchants. There we choose our fresh ingredients for our first cooking classes. As the week progresses we visit local artisans such as the chocolate maker, or the potter, go wine-tasting at local wineries and learn from the men and women who have wine in their veins.

Sapori + Saperi offers hands-on holidays for food lovers

“The highlight of my first winter here was helping with the olive harvest and oil pressing, beating olives off the trees and accompanying them to the frantoio to catch the grass-green oil pouring out at the end of the pressing.”
