  • 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

    Oct 25-Nov 1, 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.

  • The Best of Mexico City

    CDMX Under the Volcano

    Jan 23-28, 2026

    ?

    Only five days and nights to tackle one of the world’s richest and wildest culinary cities? No problem. Here’s the plan: start strong, end hard, rely on our smartest and most well-connected friends in the city to show us how to cook and eat and drink well, Chilango-style. And we’ll be spending deep moments at the remarkable Hacienda San Andrés for a full traditional lamb barbacoa and deep dive into the rich rural and culinary heritage that surrounds CDMX.
