Unparalleled Experiences of Food, Wine & Culture

"Peter, many thanks for all your hard work in putting together a most memorable trip to the Australian wine country. We so very much appreciate your reputation in the wine world that enabled us to experience wine in a way that would not be available to the general public. "

Sandra & Roger Mapp, Australia 2007

"We have attended three of Peter's tours (Italy 2002, Spain 2003, Portugal 2005) and have had some very memorable and incredible wining and dining experiences. These trips are for people who truly love wine and food. Peter takes all the fuss away and you get to taste and experience things you could never imagine... We have gone truffle hunting in Alba (home of the famous white truffle- where we also had the most spectacular truffle dinner!) seen parmesan cheese being made in Parma, experienced real Basque cooking in San Sebastian and treaded on the grapes in Portugal. Our only complaint is always that there is too much...too much to eat, drink, see...we always want more though, and that's why we keep coming back."

Judy and Gordon Stollery, Portugal 2005

"Murray and I wish to thank you for making the Portugal trip a fun and memorable experience. Your passion and enthusiasm for food, wine and culture has been a great inspiration to us both. For those who are considering this type of travel experience, we would not hesitate to recommend that they take that experience with you."

Murray Mullen & Susan Burwash, Portugal 2005

"Thank you Peter for such a memorable trip in Provence and Rhone Valley.  It was an education in superb wine and gastronomic delights.  Not only were we able to taste the best wine and finest food of the region but, best of all, also to be able to meet such wine and food luminaries as Philippe Guigal and Paul Bocuse, to name but a few. It was an experience no other tour group could offer. The tours were well organized and we were so well taken care of that it was like traveling with family."

Clara Lau, Provence-Rhone 2004

"I have thoroughly enjoyed two trips of gourmet indulgence with Peter Blattmann - Italy 2002 and Spain 2003. Peter ensures that the tours are well organized and provide the best in wine, food, and accommodation. I have numerous truly remarkable memories - e.g. the "day of truffles" which included a truffle hunt, a visit to the truffle market and an exceptional 7-course dinner highlighting the white truffle at Il Vicoletto, a Michelin starred restaurant in Alba (Piedmont). Peter's connections gave us the rare opportunity to meet and talk with the countries' leading chefs, winemakers, and other food personalities -- e.g. tasting 12, 25, and 50 year old balsamic vinegar and lunch with the owner Ermes Malpighi (Modena), featuring his wonderful balsamic vinegar in each course; a cooking class and a phenomenal 12-course lunch with chef Andoni Luis Aduriz at Mugaritz, a Michelin starred restaurant (San Sebastian); wine tastings at some of the world's most famous wineries that are generally not accessible to the public e.g. with Franco Biondi Santi and Marchese Piero Antinori (Tuscany); with Roberto Bava, Fiorenzo Dogliani of Batasiolo and at A Gaja (Piedmont); with legendary Alejandro Fernandez of Pesquera and at Vega Sicilia (Ribera del Duero); and Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle at Artadi (Rioja). Being more of a "foodie" than a wine enthusiast, I have found these trips an excellent way to experience the gastronomic treasures of a country and to learn about winemaking and the appreciation of fine wines."

Rosemary Bacovsky, Tuscany • Piedmont 2002; Spain 2003

"This tour to Italy has been the best trip that we have taken ever. Thank you so much for your time and efforts. No words can describe how much we enjoyed this wonderful experience."

Blaine & Cindy Kunz, Tuscany • Piedmont 2002

"A wonderful compilation of sensory experiences. From vineyards to exquisite chateaux and fine cooking and dining. From grapes to the bottle, it was completely covered. It just doesn’t get better than this!"

Bruce and Janis Morrison, Bordeaux • Paris 2001

"The Bordeaux-Paris trip exceeded our expectations. You offered us the opportunity to meet people, see things & places that ordinary mortals would never have access to. Peter, Kim and I wish to thank you for a wonderful experience."

Ene and Kimberly McGregor, Bordeaux • Paris 2001
