Review of Sorrento’s La Masseria farm tour, with lemon and olive groves, tastings, lunch, wine, limoncello, and round-trip transport.
“We had a lovely experience touring the farm, seeing the lemon & olive trees and the farm animals! Had a wonderful lunch. Highly recommend!”
Cruise Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak for a steamship ride, farm show, and generous New Zealand buffet dinner in four scenic hours.
“The steamer ride across the lake was a lot of fun. It was very interesting to see the engine room and all that goes on down there. It’s not every day you see somebody shoveling coal into a furnace to keep the engine running. The TSS Earnslaw was built the same time the Titanic was built. Because of all the original parts, you can see many indications that it’s very old and similar to other ships of that time. When we got to the farm they took us to the dining area. The food was excellent and there was plenty to choose from. I would highly recommend his trip to…”
Review of Common Ground Kauai’s farm and food experience, with tropical plants, regenerative farming, local fruit tasting, dinner, and practical tips.
“It was interesting but a bit pricey. Not much of a tour of the farm, but more of an education on the foods grown there. Food was great though!”
Review of Crete’s olive oil festival with farm dinner, raki, honey, soap making, dancing, transport, food, value, and practical tips.
“Veranstaltung war sehr schön, derTransport muss besser Organisiert werden. Bus zu voll und nur ausländisch die Reiseleiterin gesprochen obwohl deutsch gebucht. Also daran bitte noch Arbeiten. Mit freundlichen Gruß Uwe Lewandowski”
Review Kulaniapia Falls’ farm-to-table chef’s dinner, with local food, waterfall views, pricing, timing, wine, and practical booking advice.
“Looked so good on paper…chef’s dinner by a waterfall, but the execution and reality fell really short. 5 courses over two plus hours, a lot of long waits (up to 30 minutes) between some of the courses. When I finally got my entree it was cold and way over salted. I might not have minded the wait so much but my group and the others at the table could hear the champagne popping and loud laughter on the other side of the kitchen so it just seemed like we were not a priority. There was no bread or anything to snack on so we were all really hungry during the…”
Explore Oia, a Santorini farm lunch, and five local wines on a private five-hour tour with hotel pickup.
“We had the absolute pleasure of joining the 5-hour Oia tour with lunch at a local farm, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, enriching, and full of charm. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Santorini’s history and culture, but also brought a wonderful sense of humor and warmth that made the day even more enjoyable. The tour and guide exceeded all of our expectations and was one of our favorite experiences in Santorini. Highly recommend!!!!”
Make pasta with Antonietta near Lucca, then enjoy a Tuscan farmhouse meal, local wine, dessert, and homemade limoncello.
“Antonietta was amazing in every way. She is the sweetest person and even though she only spoke Italian and my granddaughters and I only English, we felt as if we had known each other as lifelong friends. Her husband, Piero, was great to prepare the beautiful outdoor dining area and helped make the class a truly wonderful experience. We made handmade pasta, sauce and bruschetta that was so yummy. We all sat and ate our meal together and relaxed while enjoying each other's company and a delicious meal prepared from scratch. They had an interpreter, Kate, who was precious. I recommend highly!!”
Review of Podere Spedalone’s Tuscan communal dinner, with sunset aperitivo, local food, wine advice, timing, access, and value.
“Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the location and join the dinner. As there was no Taxi available from Pienza to the restaurant. Therefore I can only give 3 Stars. I am sure it was lovely and I was really looking forward to going. I was very sad I couldn't go.”
Review of Tropea’s farm-to-table food experience, with pasta making, local cheeses, countryside views, hotel pickup, and practical booking tips.
“My girlfriend and I wanted to experience some true farm to table food on our trip to Calabria and this activity delivered! Enzo is a wonderful host and is very communicative prior to any activities with him.”
Ride beside the Buffalo Fork River, admire Grand Teton views, then enjoy a grilled steak, chicken, or black bean dinner under the stars.
“The ride and cookout were a lot of fun. We aren’t inexperienced riders but haven’t ridden in at least 20 years. The horses wanted to follow one another so it wasn’t a fight to control them at all. We were at the very back of the group so it was hard to hear what the guide was saying. However, the important things she made sure we heard. She gave info about a local eagle’s nest, the aspen grove, and much more. She stopped and made sure we got our picture taken in front of a scenic spot. We stopped, dismounted, and enjoyed a wonderful tasting cookout with so many options!…”
Review of a farm-to-table food experience near Noto, with Sicilian cooking, estate walks, local wine, olive oil, and limoncello.
“The best way to experience Sicily. Fabio and Annarella were the most wonderful hosts and it was the best Italian meal that we had. The farm was stunning and he was so helpful to pick us up closer to the public transportation since we were coming from Syracuse. Could not have asked for a better day.”
Review of Rome’s farm-to-table dinner with chef Michela, wine pairings, Tiber views, local ingredients, pricing, menu, and booking advice.
“This is an experience you don’t what to miss. Michela does an outstanding job hosting, cooking and making sure 13 of us at her dinner this night left friends. Don’t be concerned about the graffiti you see on the door of her building. Press the intercom button with her name located on the right hand side, push the door open when you hear the click and go to first floor. An amazing night awaits you”
Review of Crete’s olive oil festival in Sisi, with farm workshops, dinner, wine tasting, Greek music, dancing, transport, and practical tips.
“There is a lot of information to take in, and it can get a bit noisy when there are a lot of people on the tour. Be prepared to spend lots of money on the amazing products available in the gift shop. The buffet dinner was out of this world, and the music and dancing afterwards was great fun.”
Review of Paros Farm’s sunset cooking class, with garden-to-table Greek food, local wine, music, practical tips, price, and booking advice.
“Although we had a little bit of difficulty finding the property, we did ultimately have fun with a fun group of people. The owner is very energetic and seems to enjoy what she does and wants you to be happy!”
