Active Gourmet Holidays

Active Gourmet Holidays takes you to Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Peru for a savory array of cooking vacations and sophisticated food and wine tours with some that can also be paired with hiking, biking, yoga, and even language classes. Each vacation package is unique, but most include vineyard tours with wine tastings and wine education; visits to food markets and local food producers; dinners at Michelin-rated restaurants; cooking lessons from talented chefs; and excursions to local villages and renowned points of interest.

Active Gourmet caters to single travelers, couples, small groups and culinary student groups and offers accommodations ranging from charming farmhouses to four star hotels and gorgeous villas, all set in unforgettable locales. While most of the offerings are focused on cooking classes and culinary tours, we also offer combination tours.
