This private ceramics experience invites you to create a mate drinking gourd from scratch. Over the course of 3.5 hours, you will learn about the entire process of modeling and decorating ceramics, culminating in a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home and relive your time in Mendoza with every sip. While you shape and create your personalized gourd, you will sip on mate chosen by Lucila. Sharing mate (a caffeinated herbal beverage) is an integral component of Argentine culture and you'll come to understand why. The experience is further complemented by a spread of facturas and chipá (local pastries). 

No previous pottery experience is needed—all you need is a desire to enjoy, learn, and share. As the finished ceramic gourd must be fired after the workshop, you will need to collect it one week later or arrange to have it shipped. This cost is not included in the price of the experience. 

Engaging with such as artisanal process as ceramics provides a rare opportunity to connect with an ancient tradition. You may also be surprised by the feeling of wellness the experience creates—Lucila's goal is to inspire a sense of serenity. 

Designed by a local artisan in Mendoza, this craft experience focuses on the culture of mate as much as the pottery aspect; you'll make a mate gourd of your own while sipping the drink cherished by Argentinians from all corners of the country and all walks of life. As you taste mate, hear its significance, and sculpt your own little gourd, you'll graze on facturas Mendocinas and come to recognize how these pastries differ from region to region. Upon "graduation" you can continue the tradition of mate on your future travels and share the custom with loved ones back home. Fusing traditional crafts and gastronomy, this cultural workshop invites you to seize a moment of calm where creativity, enjoyment, human connection, and mindfulness flourish.

Experience an authentic, sustainable, and unforgettable six-hour boating adventure, far from the bustling crowds, with Andrea Rossi, 4th generation fisherman featured on National Geographic. 

Step into a world where centuries-old fishing traditions and untouched beauty converge. Traverse the small canals of the island of Torcello and visit key sights. Then, dive into the lagoon's heart, exploring quiet sandbanks, observing the art of net fishing, collecting aquatic aromatic herbs so important to Venetian cuisine, and marveling at the diverse bird species that call this sanctuary home. 

Indulge in a delectable meal at the Burano Fisherman's Cooperative, where you'll feast on fresh catches while overlooking the serene lagoon. Conclude your adventure at the family shop in Burano.

Melina, a native speaker of German and Spanish and a passionate polyglot, holds a degree in Translation and Interpretation as well as a Master's in Language Teaching. She has traveled and lived in various parts of the world, including Spain, Australia, Germany, and Portugal, but the irresistible charm of Sardinia captivated her, leading her to settle on this Mediterranean island in 2015. She is a certified Mountain Guide (AIGAE) and an official Tourist Guide for the Region of Sardinia.

This 3-hour immersive experience introduces you to the ancient Turkish art of Tezhip, also known as the Islamic Art of Illumination. You’ll explore its origins from the Ottoman period, when it adorned sacred manuscripts and important texts, and gain insights into its rich cultural significance. Hosted at a private studio inside a local council, this experience combines history with hands-on learning. 

You'll discuss the history and evolution of Tezhip art, covering its role in Ottoman and Islamic culture. Then engage in a workshop guided by the master and educator of Tezhip, Ms. Şeyma Çınar, who has been practicing this art since 1998. During the workshop, you will draw your own illuminated piece, learning techniques with real gold powder and hand-paint motifs that have been preserved for centuries. Alongside the session, you’ll get a taste of Turkish tea and local sweets.

This experience offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient art of Tezhip (Islamic illumination) under the guidance of a certified Istanbul-based master and educator. Unlike the typical multi-week online or in-person courses, this high-end workshop has been designed as an exclusive 3-hour appreciation session. It provides a compact yet immersive introduction to this intricate art form, condensing the essential techniques—normally mastered over multiple sessions—into a concise and highly effective step-by-step system developed by Şeyma.

Together you’ll learn traditional techniques such as the precise application of genuine gold leaf powder. This premium material, central to the art of illumination, adds an opulent touch to your artwork and requires specialized gilding methods, which you’ll master during the session. The blend of cultural storytelling and premium materials ensures a truly unique and elevated experience, reflecting the opulence of Ottoman traditions.

Celebrate the Douro’s harvest season in this fully immersive half-day experience that brings centuries‑old traditions to life. You'll step into the rhythm of the vindima — or grape harvest — hand‑picking grapes on steep, terraced vineyards as local workers do. Next, you'll wade into a stone lagar to press grapes barefoot, stomping to festive music and feeling the must rise beneath you — an authentic ritual that shaped Douro wine production for generations.

After freshening up, enjoy a regional lunch at the estate paired with wines from previous harvests. The morning concludes with a serene cruise aboard a traditional Rabelo boat, drifting past golden hills and leafy terraces. This is a chance to experience one of the region's most iconic cultural events away from the crowds.

THIS IS A SEASONAL EVENT AVAILABLE ONLY DURING DOURO'S HARVEST SEASON FROM MID-AUGUST TO THE END OF OCTOBER.

This is a rare opportunity to take part in one of the Douro’s most meaningful traditions — not as a spectator, but as a participant. With scissors in hand and feet in the press, you’ll join a working harvest, guided by winemakers who carry generations of knowledge. Few experiences offer this kind of hands-on access to grape picking and traditional treading, especially in such an intimate setting. The atmosphere is celebratory, with the rhythm of local songs adding spirit to the work.

Afterward, you’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch paired with estate wines — the direct result of efforts like your own. Thanks to Carlos and Paulo’s close ties with small producers, you’ll experience this seasonal ritual in its most genuine form, away from the crowds. It’s a chance to ask questions, connect with the land, and walk away with a deeper appreciation for the people behind the wine.

Join the harvest team as you pick grapes directly from the vines nestled along Douro's steep, schist terraces. You’ll carry baskets and help transport the fruit, as generations have done before you.


Few visitors get to experience the physical reality of harvest season — the sweat, the smells, the steep incline of the land. This is a moment of connection with nature, labor, and legacy.

Here, you’ll learn about the traditional lagares (stone tanks) and how grapes begin their transformation. Then step into the lagar barefoot and join in the traditional grape stomping — still practiced today during harvest. Music and laughter set the tone for this joyful, communal ritual. After the treading, you’ll have a chance to rinse off, change, and relax before lunch. 

This traditional method taps into the soul of Douro's harvest culture, allowing you to witness an ancient ritual that has been around for centuries. You’ll stomp, sing (if you want), and experience one of the valley’s most iconic annual events first-hand. Then take a break for a well-deserved lunch.

This Milan itinerary is sleek, elegant, and curated — the perfect expression of Milanese sophistication across architecture, design, fashion, and food. It’s about Milan as it’s truly lived: designed, composed, and always in conversation with its past and future.

Milan is precision with personality—a city where modern lines meet Renaissance texture, and where fashion, architecture, and food are expressions of the same pursuit: style with substance. This three-day itinerary moves through that balance with intent, beginning in the geometry and vision of Gio Ponti’s architectural legacy. From the Pirelli Tower to lesser-known gems, the morning reveals how Milan’s skyline was shaped not just by ambition, but by design thinking.

The afternoon shifts to the Navigli District—Leonardo da Vinci’s hand in its canals, but today, the flow belongs to artists, gallery owners, and baristas. You’ll wander cobbled paths, stop for an aperitivo, and settle into a slow dinner at Osteria Conchetta, where Milanese cuisine is served without pretense but full of detail.

Day two leaves the city for the lakes. A curated visit to Lake Como weaves together water, stone, and stillness. At Villa del Balbianello and through the towns of Como and Bellagio, nature is never separate from design—it’s framed by it. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s about atmosphere. Scale, silence, villas on cliffs. Beauty at rest.

On your final day, the focus returns to Milan with a walk through Brera. Here, art meets appetite—small galleries, curated boutiques, and a lunch scene that respects tradition while playing with it. The afternoon brings you to Castello Sforzesco and its layered museums, followed by a pause in Sempione Park—green space as counterbalance. And finally: dinner at Tartufotto, where truffle meets elegance in the heart of the city.

Even in just one day, Buenos Aires leaves an impression that lingers. With the right rhythm, it’s possible to feel the city’s contradictions and connections—its political weight, its everyday rituals, and its emotional expression through dance. This tightly curated journey is for travelers passing through, but curious enough to look deeper. In just a few hours, you’ll move from monuments to mate to milonga—each one revealing a different heartbeat of Argentina.

As evening falls, step into a neighborhood milonga, where a tango dancer guides you through the unspoken rules, the music, and the beauty of a tradition that still pulses through the city. It’s a single day—but one that distills the emotion, tension, and grace of Buenos Aires.

WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES | Choose Recoleta for a graceful start close to monuments and morning walks, or Palermo for an energetic finish and late-night rhythm.
