Tour a Sardinian organic farm near Cagliari, taste natural wines with Claudio, enjoy merenda and hammocks, and take home wild lavender.
“Our experience exceeded each one of our expectations. Ramona and Claudio welcomed us and were brilliant hosts. We felt as though they took us in to the wonderful community they have created. Such a unique and special experience, especially how the wine knowledge is intertwined with the power and history of herbs for medicinal purposes. On arrival we were greeted with grape leaf water whilst being talked through it’s health benefits, to then walk through the fields where the couple were talking us through the process, production and even using real life analogy’s to show the correspondence between masculine/ feminine / spirituality / physical. To then be taken to where…”
Join Mirella and Stefano for a private Tuscan cooking class, seasonal dishes, local wine, and a welcoming meal in a Florence garden home.
“What a fun class! We were able to book Ubers out to her house and she helped get taxis afterwards to get us back to Florence. We made eggplant parm, fresh tagliatelle and gnocchi, sauces, and tiramisu. All amazing and paired with local or homemade wine and limoncello. Would recommend!”
See Gran Canaria beyond the resorts with Teror, Bandama Caldera, a botanical garden, and local wine and cheese on a half-day tour.
“We had a fantastic day with an excellent driver/guide in Frank who looked after us so well. Seven in our family group in a mini bus. Just the right amount of information and plenty of stops for photos and refreshments. Certainly the best trip we have had in a long while. We chose this instead of one offered by the cruise line and were so glad that we had! Frank went out of his way to ensure we had a great day. I have been in the Travel business for 40 years and would have jumped at the chance of having Frank on my payroll. Excellent in every way. Thanks…”

Review of a Sicilian farm picnic with wine, olive groves, seasonal appetizers, and an aromatic garden near Partinico.
“Couldn't be happier with this experience! Our host was lovely, welcoming us with a delicious glass of sparkling wine. The vineyards and olive groves are beautiful, and it was very interesting to hear about the different stages of the wine making process. Finally, the picnic was fantastic - every appetiser was delicious, and topped off by the beautiful setting. Grazier!”
Walk lavender fields, learn organic farming, taste farm products, and add an optional wine tasting at a Valensole estate.

Sample five Bulgarian lavender varieties at DiVes Winery, enjoy Black Sea views, learn about lavender, and sip complimentary Bulgarian wine.
“The tour guide was rude, he didn’t look at us while he was talking so we couldn’t hear a word he said. Didn’t seem interested in answering any of our questions. Tour didn’t last long and was literally just a short walk up a down a small patch of lavender plants. It has so much potential but needs to be improved especially the guides attitude.”
