Most wine tours are trips to vineyards, bog standard wine tastings with some charcuterie and cheese then back to where you are sleeping and being pointed in the direction of a local restaurant. Honestly, at times you never know if you are visiting the best places or just the places the guide has the best kickbacks. Our founder Jason counts the best winemakers, chefs and food producers we visit as his friends born out of visiting and living around them for twenty or more years. We make sure you visit the very best people, we pay them fairly to host us. Our tours are more immersive, more fun, more inspirational and completely indulgent.

Our tours take you to places we know, where we have visited and lived over twenty plus years. We don't partner with other agencies, we don't act an guide for any larger global operator. The only way you get these tours is through us and the experiences we share are based on discovering and living it not a Google search.

Jason is a chef so sitting together and eating and talking is central to our experiences which makes us unique. We find it strange how so many tours just point people in the direction of random local restaurants to eat in an evening. Ultimately you can do what you want, if you prefer to visit local restaurants will recommend you the best, but with a chef as your guide we also plan evenings where you are cooked for and you get to talk and meet your guide and fellow travellers.

We actively don't visit places and do things that many other tours to the regions we visit do. We are not interested in the usual touristy destinations and activities. To us it's lazy and a little boring to offer that. We want you to leave with experiences few others have had and with unique stories to tell (and social media posts to share) of people places.

Jason has worked with Slow Food, the world's largest food NGO founded in Turin in the late 80s. He loves to take the time to also share the knowledge of why we need a sustainable food system. We don't preach, but we want you to not just leave with photo's and a bottle of wine, we want you to also understand the realities of what it takes to create wonderful things and how this way of life is under threat.

There is nothing better in our opinion than sitting around a table with a winemaker, chef and farmer and a glass of wine chatting about life whilst dinner - typically a piece of meat - cooks over an open fire. The reality is that many people who live this life are rooted in tradition. In traditional farming values, and traditional food. Our tours are best suited to people who respect this. These are not experiences best suited to people who have very strong views on life and food and who are not open to spending time with people with different views. We don't want to offend anyone, not you and not our partners.
