Best foodie holidays

Get stuck in and cook up a storm in a traditional Mexican kitchen on our two-week Tastes of Mexico tour. Buy fresh ingredients from the local market and follow recipes that have been handed down many generations to create a delicious feast of Mexican mole, spicy stuffed chillies and homemade tacos. We’ll also head into the mountains to learn how to make corn husk tamales and try some crispy deep-fried mojarra. 

Visit the home of balsamic vinegar in the Italian region of Modena on our Taste of Italy tour. The Leonardi Farmhouse has been producing Balsamic Vinegar since the 18th century, and we’ll learn how Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes are pressed, cooked and aged to create this ancient and highly valued sweet and sour condiment. Tickle your taste buds with some delicious tastings and explore their fascinating museum.

Head into the verdant grasslands of Kerala’s Western Ghats, go in search of exotic wildlife in Periyar National Park and meet locals in remote Backwater villages on our Kerala walking tour. Keep your energy levels topped up with traditional Indian Dosas stuffed with fragrant coconut chutney before climbing through the lush tea plantations of the Seven Malai Hills where you’ll discover far-reaching panoramas stretching towards the rugged peak of Anamudi. 

For Jordanians, food is a key part of family life; it is viewed as an experience to be enjoyed rather than just a necessity. Embrace this sociable outlook and get together with your fellow travellers for group meals on our A Taste of Jordan tour. In Wadi Rum, where semi-nomadic Bedouin people have adapted to desert life for over 3,000 years, you can experience Bedouin hospitality with a traditional Zarb. A Zarb is a barbecue of chicken or goat meat (and vegetarian options) which is cooked under the desert sand and served alongside a selection of meze.
