Food & Wine Tours with Kirker Holidays...
There are few better ways to get under the skin of a destination than through its local cuisine, and in many cases, its wines. This is particularly so in Europe, where some of the world’s greatest gastronomic specialities are still produced by local artisans side-by-side with the most celebrated wines.
Whether you are an expert connoisseur or an enthusiastic amateur, Kirker offers a range of holidays to some of the world’s best culinary destinations and most important wine regions – as well as lesser-known areas. Each tour is carefully-designed to offer the perfect balance of sightseeing in the company of local guides, expert-led food and wine-tastings and some free time for independent exploration, all in the company of world-class experts in their field. Join Italian chef Valentina Harris to witness the ‘birth’ of a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano followed by lunch in her favourite restaurant in Modena, let drinks writer Jonathan Ray guide you through the cellars of Alsace, or accompany wine expert Tim Clarke for lunch at Dom Perignon followed by dinner at the Taittinger family’s grand chateau in Champagne.
Each of Kirker’s carefully-designed wine tours includes visits to both prestigious cellars and smaller producers as well as exclusive private tastings, and gastronomic tours include the best local food markets, exquisite authentic restaurants, and live cooking classes or demonstrations.
Wherever you choose to travel, Kirker’s range of small-group tours will take you beyond the standard tourist trail – to art galleries and museums out of hours, into private gardens which are not open to the public, or behind-the-scenes at some of the world’s great opera houses. Groups typically consist of 12-22 like-minded travellers in the company of an expert, and subjects include gardens, art, architecture, history, science, archaeology, opera, music – and of course food and wine.
