Here is the measure of an extraordinary holiday -
your friends and colleagues will want to see your holiday photos!

Imagine them gasping at shots of you on a bicycle in the sunflower fields of southern France, striding the Cinque Terre coastal path in Italy, bargaining for artefacts in a souk in Marrakech
or kayaking around Waiheke Island,
New Zealand?

And how will they resist the tales of the people, the places and the authentic national and regional food you encountered?

At the active gourmet we have
the perfect holiday recipe for people who love good food, good wine, indeed, the good life –
our active gourmet adventures.

Whether you join us on one
of our wide range of
escorted journeys, follow a self-led gourmet itinerary, or have your very own holiday tailor-made to suit you and your friends, you will relish the activity.

Special adventures with the active gourmet!
