  • The Ancient Towns of Erhai Lake

    Yunnan Forever

    Sept 7-15, 2025

    From the misty matsutake-rich mountains of Ma Pin Guan to the hidden Bai enclaves of ancient Silk Road towns, this is a weeklong journey through China’s most varied province, a biodiversity hotspot home to more ethnic groups than any other. Yunnan: land of mushrooms, birthplace of tea. Led by the Chinese writer Jane Yang and former Bourdain fixer Alejo Sabugo, we begin in Shanghai and end in Dali, traversing four ancient towns that ring the storied Lake of Erhai—culminating in an extraordinary multi-course dinner in a secret restaurant for Chinese chefs. Light activity level. Vegetarian-friendly itinerary.

  • The Beautiful North

    From Piedmont To Aosta

    Nov 30-Dec 7, 2025

    This is a week of the prime cut of Northern Italy, from classic Torino to the rolling vinelands of the Langhe up to the high mountains of Valle d’Aosta. The story of this region in autumn is the story of osterias and ochre forests, white truffles and big red wines. This journey unfolds easily, sumptuously, from one day to the next, staying in the finest hotels and drinking with the most renowned producers as we dive headlong into the Very Beautiful Lifestyle of the north.

  • A KANSAI PILGRIMAGE

    Osaka to Kyoto:
    A Tale of Two Cities

    Mar 12-19, 2026

    Before there were foodies, there was Kansai. There was Osaka and Kyoto, a one-two combination of totemic culinary excellence that has forever shaped the art of eating. Nearly a decade after his book on Japan with Anthony Bourdain took readers inside the secret rhythms of the country’s food culture, Matt Goulding returns to the source.
