Savor the world.

Let travel change your life.

Specializing in experiential travel, Global Gourmands creates imaginative and authentic journeys that take you beyond tourist circuits and immerses you in local cultures through unforgettable, authentic food and wine experiences.

Every tour is handcrafted to ensure that you are part of your own story rather than just an observer. Whether it’s making bread in a windmill in Portugal, walking through the souks of Marrakesh with a spice master, fishing for your catch of the day off the coast of Ireland or meeting a beekeeper in Slovenia, Global Gourmands tours are handcrafted, hands-on, and always delicious.

Global Gourmands offers you the best planned, the best- led, and altogether the most fulfilling and enjoyable journeys that you’ll find anywhere. Call or email me to explore the possibilities. Find out more about our services here.
