    CDMX Under the Volcano

    Jan 17-21, 2025

    ?

    Only four 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 dive into the rich rural and culinary heritage that surrounds CDMX.

  • From Phuket to Songkhla

    Sensational Southern Thailand

    Feb 2-9, 2025

    ?

    By foot, by plane, by private vehicle, by speedboat: this is a kinetic journey through the heart of Southern Thailand. The sea has mixed cultures and cuisines here for millennia, and your hosts Andy Ricker and Phongsila “Mapeng” Comack are the perfect guides through the big history and bright flavors of the region. From the slow-paced coastal gem Songkhla to the luxuries of modern and ancient Phuket, this week mixes places you think you know with locations that few outsiders get to visit.

    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.
