About Us
Our Offerings
Since 2000, Gourmet On Tour offers the ultimate in gourmet holidays, designed for people who love and appreciate food and wine.
Whether half a day, a weekend or a week, we provide over 80 cooking courses, culinary and wine-appreciation adventures across Europe, US, Asia and Morocco. We offer a diverse selection of venues deep in the countryside or in the thick of the city, with accommodation ranging from cozy farm houses or urban designer hotels. Each programme and tour is chosen with great care and experience, and we visit each venue personally to ensure a high standard in courses and accommodation. We do this by both partnering with other culinary businesses and producing our own venues.
For guests wanting to join a group of fellow foodies, we offer a range of scheduled courses throughout the year. For the independent traveller, tell us where and when and we will tailor-make your adventure.
Our chefs are prepared for both the eager novice and the experienced home cook. The atmosphere lends itself to learning and participation leavened with fun!
We also specialise in corporate events. Whether it is a team-building retreat or executive getaway, you will benefit from our access to wonderful and lesser known locations. We have had the pleasure to organise private events for Michelin, Waitrose, BNP Paribas, Accenture and clients such as American Express Black card members.
Gourmet On Tour chooses only the very best, so you experience only the very best.

Our Philosophy
Our goal is to create one-of-a-kind experiences for foodies who want to see the world a little differently. Each location is selected for its character and individuality, to make you feel at home and gain a genuine feel for the region as an invited guest and not as a tourist. Each route is carefully designed to immerse you in the local culture and reveal a region’s true spirit. After all, great travel is about experiencing and meeting locals.
There will be always amazing food, whether you are cooking with a Michelin-starred chef in France or preparing a feast with a local mamma in a Tuscan farmhouse. For us, it’s all about the experience. And it’s not all luxury all the time. Rather, it’s a mix that allows you to sample both a region’s most refined cuisine and its most rustic traditions.
We can arrange unique encounters our travellers couldn’t have on their own – from private cooking classes to access of exclusive wine cellars.
