Lodging & Cuisine
It is the nature of a walking trip to draw us intimately into the heart of a
place, yet the most revealing foray is often through a country’s food and hospitality.
For this reason, these tours seek out the gastronomic riches of a region and
its finest, most authentic accommodations.
Nights are spent in small inns where the ingredients for superb meals often
come from the back garden or local market. We sleep in restored haciendas in
Peru, in a five-star palace in Morocco, in garden-strewn inns in California’s
Wine Country, and in elegant, old-world hotels on the Amalfi Coast of Italy.
From Sweden to New Zealand, unique and impressive properties are the hallmark
of these vacations — and the key to unlocking the secrets of a culture’s beauty
and mystique.
Walking in exotic places fortifies the appetite, often for savories that come
fresh from the land we trod. After a day walking in the piquant sea air, for
example, we indulge in the freshest, most delicately prepared seafood. Another
trip is redolent of herbs, so local game grilled over a scented fire is in order.
In Italy’s Cinque Terre, we judge pesto from village to village. In the Lubéron
of France, we discover the subtle varieties of olive oil. In Ireland, we come
to know the perfect “head” on an ale. On each walking tour trip, the cuisine
and accommodations reflect that special destination’s most discriminating taste.
