    Travel to Thailand for a week of culinary exploration that is sometimes rustic, sometimes luxurious, but always fascinating.

Your hosts Andy Ricker and Phongsila “Mapeng” Comack are the perfect guides through the big history and bright flavors of the region, mixing places you think you know with locations that few outsiders get to visit.

    A full-throated celebration of Tasmania, an island of big landscapes, pure waters, and absurdly good produce. Leading this trip are Palisa Anderson, the pioneering Sydney-based farmer and restaurateur, and Nathan Thornburgh, longtime foreign correspondent and co-founder of Roads & Kingdoms. From island-hopping to leisurely breakfasts overlooking Mount Wellington to intimate dining experiences with local culinary luminaries curated by Roads & Kingdoms, every moment is a celebration of Tasmania’s rich products and human geography.

    Puglia:
    The True
    Dolce Vita

    May 4-11, 2025

    ?

    The heel of the boot has mainland Italy’s longest coastline, white-sand beaches, winds from the Sahara desert—and the perfect climate for its centuries-old olive groves. Puglia’s rich agricultural legacy includes the fairytale stone villages of the Valle d’Itria and a hearty cuisine that gave the world burrata and orecchiette. Spend some time in Puglia’s laid-back embrace.
