The current rotation of destinations include the Minervois region of south-west France, Spanish Basque Country, the Norte region of Portugal, county Kerry/Cork/West Cork area of Ireland, and the Tuscan hills of Italy.
Typically, in any given year, James will offer 1 or 2 tours in the Spring (Apr – Jun), and another 1 or 2 tours in the Fall (Sept – Oct).
Our European tours are 7 nights in duration. Everything is included from the moment you’re picked up in our private coach, until we drop you off at the airport. Accommodations, meals and snacks, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), all tours and tastings, gratuities, and ground transport.
It depends on our destination, but we find that 10 – 14 is the sweet spot.
Dietary restrictions are reviewed on a case by case basis. Chefs’ Table Tours delivers a high-quality experience rooted in local ingredients and traditional regional preparation techniques. Our unique kitchen setup, with limited staff make it challenging to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination or to prepare multiple specialized meals simultaneously. Furthermore, the customs, regulations, and risk perception regarding dietary restrictions vary significantly among our global restaurant partners. We are unable to override these established local practices. To ensure the safety and well-being of all guests, we ask that you reach out and explain your specific requirements around any severe or complex allergy, or any restrictive dietary practices.
