Pulsating Cities and Majestic Mountains: the Soul of South Korea

Bring your insatiable appetite on this 10-day tour of South Korea, a culinary experience of cinematic proportions. Act one sees you scouring the tunnels of the DMZ and the streets of Seoul in search of karaoke bars and food stalls. Act two includes dining in hanoks (a traditional Korean house) with culinary masterclass montages. The finale is a showdown of soju and bibimbap, with only cutlery and a napkin. It’s like Squid Game – and by that, we mean seeing how much squid you can eat in the largest seafood market in the country.

Riches and Ruins: Wine, Dine and Step Back in Time in Rural Georgia

Culinary experiences don’t get more authentic than the ancient bread-making and winemaking traditions in Georgia. So pack your spittoon and join a small group on a gastronomic journey into Georgia’s past. The Kakheti region is known as the Cradle of Wine, and you’ll have ample opportunity to imbibe. Alas, man cannot live on bread and wine alone, so journeying to the farmers’ market in Tbilisi and picnicking in Lagodekhi National Park is a must.
