Culinary Capitals of the World
The World’s Best Cities & Towns for Food & Wine Lovers
In every country there is usually a city, or a town that is recognised as being the place to visit for the best food and wine the destination has to offer. It maybe the local cuisine or specialities, the abundance of exceptional restaurants, highly rated chefs or the quality of the provincial drinks and produce that has given it the capital award.
Our collection of these Gastronomic Capitals will whet the appetite as they showcase many of the most sought-after destinations by gourmands and inquisitive travellers alike. Each capital provides ample opportunity to discover the region’s culture, whilst featuring what we consider as the very best gastronomic experiences.
These are a mixture of short haul and long haul trips with durations varying from four to seven days and are similar to luxury City Breaks with an added bonus for those who appreciate the finer things in life. All standard trips can be extended, stop-overs can be added or they can be adapted to become part of a longer holiday.
All Gastronomic Capital breaks are single-centre and packed with excursions which vary from visits to local producers, distillery and vineyard tours to lunches or dinners at renowned establishments. Many include wine pairings, accompanied by experts to improve your knowledge and your overall enjoyment of the experience – why not take advantage of the discount available to all members when booking a Gastronomic Capital Break, a Gastronomy Tour or a UK Foodie Break.
