Oldways Culinarias are planned with our belief that the heart of any culture can be understood by exploring its food, wine, and culinary traditions.
Each trip features a well-known culinary expert, chef, or cookbook author intimately familiar with the regional cuisine, who will cook, teach, and tour alongside us.
Meet your new foodie friends! Oldways trips are limited to about three dozen participants—enough to interact with a variety of interesting people without feeling that you’re part of a crowd. New, close friendships among travelers are not uncommon.
We may focus on the food, but visits to museums, ancient ruins, and artisans provide fascinating context. On every trip, you’ll learn from local historical guides.
You might just get to spend the night in an Italian castle, cook in the kitchen of a countess, or enjoy a pot-luck lunch cooked by home cooks in Turkey. With Oldways’ extensive culinary connections around the world, you’re in for “pinch-me” experiences unlike any others.
You’re always welcome to email us with your questions at [email protected], but most common answers are also in our FAQ section. Check it out and let us know if you need help.
