Hearty Georgian cooking with a local chef, Tbilisi
Food and wine plays a huge role throughout our nine-day trip in Georgia, especially on day three, when we head to the largest market in the country. That’s where we’ll meet our host for the day, a local chef, who’ll help us pick out the very best fresh ingredients needed for a hearty Georgian meal. Armed with fresh vegetables, spices and pickles, we’ll head back to the chef’s very own home for a suitably homely cooking masterclass. The trip also features multiple wine tastings – in the oldest producing region on Earth – as well as a sampling of home-baked bread and local delicacy churchkhela in a family home.

Learn how to roll sushi in Tokyo
Japanese cuisine is one of the most popular on the planet, and our comprehensive 12-day tour of the country, from Osaka to Tokyo, places as much importance on food as Japanese culture does. We’ll visit Kuromon Market in Osaka, try okonomyiaki pancakes in Hiroshima and go for a sake-tasting session in the Japanese Alps. The foodie highlight of the trip undoubtedly comes in our final destination, Tokyo, where you’ll be treated to a masterclass in the art of rolling sushi. After spending your first morning in the capital watching sumo wrestlers train and working up an appetite at Tsukiji Outer Market, you’ll spend lunchtime making delicious morsels of sushi and gobbling up all of your creations before further touring the city.

Fall in love with Taiwanese food culture, Taipei
Our nine-day Taste of Taiwan trip is a true foodie experience, full of night market visits, tea tastings and authentic local restaurants that will paint a vivid picture off Taiwanese culture directly onto your tastebuds. The food, much like the culture itself, blends indigenous traditions with influences from China, Japan and other Asian nations. As an island, naturally seafood plays a huge part, but you can also expect plenty of rice, broths, chicken and pork. Having done a pretty comprehensive loop of the island, we’ll mark our final day in Taiwan putting our learnings to the test at a local cooking school. You’ll rustle up a few Taiwanese classics for lunch and even get to take some local recipes home with you, before spending one last day exploring Taipei City.

Take local ingredients and make magic in Naxos, Greece
Greek is one of the most beloved cuisines on the planet. Fresh tomatoes, crumbling cheese and seafood delights are everywhere you look across the archipelago, and our eight-day island-hopping adventure in Greece will have more than enough gyros, souvlaki and spanikopita. Your understanding of Greek food culture will be enhanced on the island of Naxos – the third stop on our tour – where we’ll head up inland to the rural village of Kaloxylos, where you’ll be taught the secrets of Greek cuisine in a local family’s home. You’ll be using only the freshest ingredients, like Naxian potatoes, sweet tomatoes and arseniko cheese, to rustle up classic dishes synonymous with the island. Don’t worry, you’ll get to feast on your creations after, with beautiful views of the area’s olive groves, oak tress and rolling hills.
