Round off a day exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Valparaíso by experiencing an authentic asado chileno with a local guide and grill master born and raised in the seaport. This three-hour barbecue experience is a personal invitation to partake in a beloved food experience rooted in convivencia (togetherness). Upon arrival at Juan Víctor’s family residence, you will be greeted with homemade empanadas and a pisco sour (Chile’s national cocktail). Chorizo sausages and premium cuts of beef are slowly cooked over an open flame, allowing plenty of time to chat with Juan Víctor over a glass of Carménère wine. 

In the sprit of convivencia, you are likely to be joined by some of Juan Víctor's relatives, friends, and neighbors. Together, you will bite into sizzling choripanes (chorizo sausages served on crusty marraqueta bread) and strips of meat fresh from the grill. The conversation will flow and you will return to your hotel with a full stomach and a happy heart. 

This experience invites you to partake in a traditional Chilean barbecue with a porteño and his family in Valparaíso. Juan Víctor’s mission is to introduce you to the highest-quality meat (or plant-based alternatives) in the relaxed, intimate environment of a local household. This is a cultural exchange whereby every item is shared, all questions are welcome, and the conversation has no boundaries. As a passionate asador (grill master), Juan Víctor is thrilled to share tidbits about Chilean food and wine. But he will also use this time to chat about the wider aspect of Chilean culture and his lived experience as porteño. On most occasions, some of Juan Víctor's relatives, friends, and neighbors will join the asado — making this a thoroughly sociable affair.

As the guest of honor, you are invited to participate in the cooking as much or as little as you wish. You may assist with preparing pebre (salsa) and tending to the grill, or simply sit back and unwind with your new friends.

Argentina

Saddle up for a 1.5-hour horseback trek in the Andes Mountains, carefully timed to coincide with sunset. As the last of the light fades, you will return to the gaucho estate to continue the evening, socializing with the family over a traditional Argentine asado (barbecue) featuring roasted vegetables, salads, fresh bread, and local Mendocinian wine. After dinner, gather around the bonfire with a glass of wine and enjoy a brief folk guitar session—a traditional gaucho touch that brings the night to life under a sky heavy with stars.

This experience includes pickup and return to your hotel in the city of Mendoza. Upon arrival at the mountain ranch, you’ll get acquainted with your horse and receive a brief safety lesson—novices through to experienced riders are accommodated. Your bilingual gaucho guide will lead the way into the mountains at a leisurely pace, stopping to savor the wild landscapes and capture photos along the way.

Not only does this experience provide the thrill of riding a horse through the world's longest mountain range, but it also immerses you in gaucho culture from start to finish. Before embarking on the trek, you will bond with your steed and learn about the unique connection between gaucho and horse. The route traverses an area of raw natural beauty, untouched by modern developments and illuminated by stars instead of city lights. Seeing these remote valleys bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun is the icing on the cake.

Upon returning to the estate, you’ll settle by the fireside with a glass of Mendocinian wine. The asado will then commence, inviting you to taste Argentine beef, seasonal vegetables, and freshly baked bread while conversing with Diego and Lucía and hearing stories of the gaucho way of life and Criolla customs. Rather than feeling like a spectator, you’ll be welcomed into the family and experience the spirit of the gauchos firsthand.

This 4-hour private, thoughtfully curated experience introduces you to Essaouira's evolving world of visual craftsmanship, from ancient techniques to modern expression.

The journey begins outside the medina in the oldest traditional thuya wood workshop, where you'll meet master artisans who shape raw wood into intricate boxes, instruments and tables.

Next, step into the studio of a Berber Mâalem (master craftsperson) in the medina—a self-taught artist rooted in tradition—whose practice started on the streets and is now recognized as mainstream art. His journey reflects the essence of Essaouira’s emerging art brut (raw art) movement: spontaneous, intuitive, deeply personal.

You'll buy snacks in the Medina to take with you to a nearby village to meet a surrealist painter and community art leader whose works appear in local establishments and as street art projects made with children in underrepresented neighborhoods. His murals and ongoing initiatives promote the arts in the region.

This experience invites you into Essaouira's artistic continuum—from tradition to modernism—through direct encounters with three very different creators. It tells a story of tradition, spirit, innovation, and community in Essaouira’s art world—curated with heart to connect you deeply to the people and creativity that define the city.

At the city’s oldest thuya wood artisan workshop, you’ll observe techniques—wood selection, carving, and inlay with metals and mother-of-pearl—passed down through generations. This is one of the last remaining workshops practicing this craft at scale. In the medina, you’ll hear the story of a maker’s evolution from anonymous street crafter to established artist. His journey underscores the city’s open and collaborative energy. Then, you’ll travel by local transport (a fun adventure in itself) to meet an inspiring community art leader and, over mint tea and local snacks, create your own painted postcard—a quiet, personal tribute to Essaouira's spirit.

Torcello’s quiet streets invite you to step back into Venice’s origins, with its ancient Cathedral renowned for its Byzantine mosaics and ties to the city’s earliest settlers.

Fort Sant’Andrea, designed by renowned architect Andrea Palladio in the 16th century, was constructed to protect Venice’s lagoon from naval attacks. Strategically located at the mouth of the lagoon, it served as a key defensive structure for the Venetian Republic.

Although not frequently visited, the fort offers a glimpse into Venice’s military history and its efforts to safeguard the city’s maritime dominance.

Lunch is at a traditional restaurant where Davide knows the family and will reserve a place for an authentic meal (Mixed appetiser, Risotto with local fish, local Burano sweets and wine), 

Torcello is steeped in myth. Its ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, adorned with magnificent Byzantine mosaics, stands as a silent witness to centuries of history.

Greece

Nestled in the heart of Santorini’s charming Megalochori village, this immersive experience takes place in a restored 1950s cave house—dug into volcanic rock and full of character. Hosts Paula and George welcome you into their “stone kitchen” to roll up your sleeves and take part in a hands-on preparation of a classic Greek feast, side by side with your hosts.

Guided by Paula and George, you’ll chop, roll, stir, and season while learning the stories behind time-honored recipes, from tzatziki to tomato fritters to melt-in-your-mouth main dishes. The menu changes with the seasons, and so does the energy—it’s part cooking lesson, part gathering.

As the aromas of your creations fill the air, the session culminates in a communal meal enjoyed under a pergola. The flavors of your labor are paired with local wines, creating connections and unforgettable memories. Paula and George created this experience as a way to bring people together—strangers at the start, cooking like family by the end.

This is a rare opportunity to cook in a traditional cave house in Santorini—a space that reflects the island’s architecture and way of life.

Paula introduces each dish, offering thoughtful insights into Greek culinary traditions and local ingredients. George, an expert chef with deep roots in the Peloponnese, guides you through each step—not from a recipe card, but from memory, family, and instinct. His approach is generous, precise, and deeply personal. Both are natural storytellers, drawing from backgrounds in hospitality and sailing to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where conversation flows easily—more like a gathering of friends than a cooking class.

A short guided hike of roughly two hours will take you to a series of caves featuring rustic paintings and traces of human habitation dating back over 10,000 years. They depict the early domestication period of the Zapotec people, when their ancestors first settled here as hunter-gatherers. These caverns are part of a larger network of over 200 caves in Yagul, where the earliest remnants of domesticated corn—a tiny and now obsolete variety known as teocintle—were discovered. This entire area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

As these caves are protected and the town operates under Indigenous law, it’s required that we travel with a local guide provided by the pueblo’s government office.

After the hike, we’ll continue the corn theme with lunch at a local restaurant, sampling one of the most iconic corn-based dishes in Oaxaca: the tlayuda. We’ll share a variety of styles, along with a refreshing non-alcoholic agua fresca.

This hike is a chance to appreciate the splendor of the Oaxacan countryside and gain insight into the earliest Zapotec people who settled in this land. Your host, a long-time Oaxaca resident with strong connections to this community, will arrange the hike with a guide from the local government office to ensure the experience complies with Indigenous law for this protected area. Participants can specify whether they would like the tour in English or Spanish. This offers unmatched insight into the history and ecology of the region.

You’ll then explore the magic of corn firsthand by trying one of Oaxaca’s most iconic delicacies—the tlayuda. Your host will transport you from the hike to one of the best venues near the city to enjoy this celebrated dish, then return you to your original meeting point once the meal is done. Please advise in advance if you're vegetarian, and special arrangements can be made.

Portugal

Experience the Douro Valley by both river and hillside in this exclusive experience that blends scenic cruising, regional drinks, and vineyard heritage. You’ll begin aboard a silent, solar-powered boat, gliding past the terraced slopes that define the valley’s identity. Midway, you’ll step ashore and board a restored vintage Bedford van—the kind once used by local farmers—for a short climb into the hills.

Your destination is a working estate known not only for wine, but also for small-batch gin and culinary ingredients sourced directly from the land. Once there, you’ll explore the vineyards, taste Port Tonic and estate-distilled gin, and visit a small museum tracing the evolution of the property—from early viticulture to diversified production.

After a picnic lunch among the vines, you’ll drive towards a viewpoint over the hills, then finish at a local olive oil and wine producer for an artisanal tasting and insight into traditional production methods. 

Unlike most river trips, this experience takes you directly to the heart of the Douro’s terraced landscape in a silent, solar-powered boat that docks at the foot of a working vineyard. From there, you’ll climb aboard a vintage Bedford van for a short but scenic ride up to a historic quinta. Known for both wine and small-batch gin production, the estate sources more than half its ingredients on-site — from fish caught in the Douro to wild herbs gathered on surrounding hillsides.

You’ll be welcomed with regionally inspired drinks like Port Tonic and estate-distilled gin, then explore a museum tracing the estate’s history. The picnic, enjoyed among vineyard rows, offers a rare chance to pause and reflect, just before your last visit to a viewpoint amid the hills and a small olive oil producer where you can learn firsthand the artisanal olive oil production process—from harvesting the olives to the final extraction, wrapping up with a tasting.

Your hosts meet you anywhere in the Douro region — hotel or train station (Pinhão/Régua) — and welcome you aboard a fully electric vintage VW Kombi. Carefully restored and designed for quiet, low-impact travel, the Kombi sets the tone for a slower, more immersive day.

You’ll drive past scenic roads surrounded by vineyards, before heading towards Pinhão to begin your boat journey.

The private transport ensures comfort and a relaxed start to the day’s experience.

Begin your cultural day in Douro with a pick-up at your hotel or train station.

Solar Boat Ride

Arriving by boat, you'll dock alongside the vineyards, then ride a vintage Bedford van up to a historic estate for a Port tonic welcome drink and a taste of locally-distilled gin, before continuing your guided visit through the property’s museum which traces the evolution of the estate’s practices — from centuries-old viticulture to a more sustainable, diversified approach to land stewardship

The estate sources over 50% of its ingredients onsite. You’ll try gin infused with local herbs, see sustainable production in action, and learn how a former wine estate evolved into a more diversified producer.

Disembark at the doors of a Douro estate for a guided tour including Port tonic and gin tastings.

Estate Tour & Tastings

After the estate visit, you’ll take a quick detour to one of the Douro’s most celebrated viewpoints, offering cinematic views of the river and terraced hills below.

Your time begins in the calm of a riad, where a portrait session and henna ceremony introduce the elegance of Moroccan hospitality and dress. In the afternoon, a guided photo walk invites you into the medina’s light and movement—capturing not just images, but insight into how the city breathes.
