Morocco, North Italy, South Italy - Sicily & Puglia, North Spain, North & South India, Vietnam
At Food I Am, we’ve turned our expert attention to unearthing some of the most unique and authentic culinary and cultural experiences and we can’t wait to share them with you!
Far from your run-of-the-mill holiday experience, our small group tours are intimate and skilfully curated, shamelessly going where no big group ever could, and savouring every morsel.
It’s a food tour – but not as you know it.
It’s foodie heaven. As a tour led by foodie hosts, you’ll be eating, tasting and sipping to your heart’s content. Our meals are handpicked to include the best culinary experiences in the different country regions we travel through. And because we keep our tour groups small, we can enjoy an off-the-beaten-track feast, secure a table at a Michelin restaurant, dine at a small regional restaurant, or sample our way through amazing street food.
The essence of our tours is all things culinary. You’ll have authentic dining experiences, meet with artisan producers, winemakers, cheesemakers and locals that are in the gastronomic know how. Most tours also include a cooking class where a local expert showcases some of the finest regional ingredients.
It’s a cultural delight. There is one thing we know for sure. it’s that once you dive into the cuisine of a country, you also deep dive into the culture and its people. Your traveller’s soul will be filled to the brim with just as many cultural experiences as culinary.
Of course, the usual suspects are covered – we’re not going all that way just to drive past significant sites! Rest assured you won’t miss The Taj Mahal in India, the Guggenheim in Spain or the Ferrari Museum in Italy. The options are ever evolving to take in the best of the country region. From history to architecture, adventures to landscapes and everything in between. We call on the locals to ensure all the sights, sounds and aromas are covered.
It’s always that little bit extra. Our tours are exceptional because our aim is to ensure every day is incredible and authentic to the culture and region. We will eat like kings and live like Italianos… food, wine, culture, laughs and a few extra kilos! And no indulgence is overlooked as we spend our nights in authentic accommodation, sumptuous hotels, kasbahs or private villas.

WHY A FOOD I AM TOUR?
We’ve been running tours for more than 10 years and tasting our way through world travels for decades more!
The tours are fully escorted by a Food I Am specialist guide and/or a national escort in the country of origin, adding their unique, local, and foodie-focused instincts to ensure extraordinary experiences.
Our itineraries are carefully curated with the assistance of our worldwide culinary connections, gastronomy experts and knowledgeable guides.
We keep the groups small – no waiting; no one-size fits all activities – just intimate, exclusive and tailored experiences.
We provide unique food and wine experiences. More than just cooking tours, we get to know a region and culture through culinary exploration.
Leave the stress behind. You don’t have to plan, make decisions, or ask directions. We do all the leg work so once you lock in the tour, you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the magic!
You can experience all the best meals the region has to offer without having to look for the perfect restaurant.
Meet the passionate producers and artisans of a region and learn about their craft.
