Do I need to know about wine?
No. We tell you the level of each experience and choose according to what you want.
The table is one of the best ways to get to know a place.
But only when it is tied to the place: who produces, where it comes from, how people eat there.
Talk to NomadeA list of restaurants is not a trip
Booking famous tables is easy. What is hard is making the food say something about where you are.
On a food and wine trip, our job is to tie the plate to the place, the wine to whoever makes it, and the day to the pace of the people living all of it.
Live the place. Enjoy the experience.
What you really want
It is almost never just eating well. It is understanding a region through what it produces and the way people eat there.
For some, it is meeting producers and tasting the wine where it is born. For others, it is the local kitchen, the markets, and the shopping. And for many, it is adding the table to a road, an event, or nature.
What kind of flavor trip are you looking for?
These are different paths. Choosing among them comes before choosing the place.
Wine and producers
Meeting the people who make it, in the region where it is made.
Local kitchen
Eating the way people eat there, tying the plate to the region.
Markets and shopping
Markets, shops, and local products as part of the trip.
The table and more
The table combined with a road, an event, nature, or culture.
Who it makes sense for
- Those who want to get to know a region through its food, its wine, and the people who produce them.
- Couples and groups who want a trip where the table is a common thread.
- Those who want to combine the table with culture, nature, a road, or an event.
- Those who do not need to know about wine: we tell you the level of each experience.
Who it may not be for
- Anyone who just wants a list of famous restaurants to tick off.
- Anyone who prefers a trip with no schedule and no reservations.
- Anyone expecting to taste in a few days what a region takes time to show.
What changes the trip most
- The region
- Each place has its own table and its own producers. The region comes before the restaurant.
- The pace
- Long lunches call for free afternoons. A day with a producer, lunch, and dinner all booked tires more than it seems.
- The reservations
- Many experiences require booking well ahead. That goes into the design from the start.
- The transfers
- Whoever tastes wine does not drive. We design the day with nearby bases, transfers, or a driver.
- The season
- The time of year changes what happens at the producers and what is open.
- Who travels with you
- Not everyone drinks, and not everyone wants the same pace. The table has to work for the whole group.
Fewer tables, more place
A meal says more when it is tied to the place: who produces, where it comes from, how people eat there. A list of famous restaurants rarely says that.
That is why we prefer fewer tables and more time in each region. Whoever rushes between reservations comes home with photos of plates and little memory of the place.
Illustrative example
What a trip like this could look like
The trip could have a base in a producing region, with days of different pace: one with a producer and a long lunch, another free, another with a market and an afternoon without a clock.
An extension by road or to a nearby town could come in, if there is time for it. If not, it is worth staying longer in the same place.
Where people go wrong
- Building the itinerary from a list of restaurants instead of starting with the region and what is its own.
- Leaving reservations for later. Experiences that need booking ahead have to go into the design before anything else.
- Underestimating the transfers between producers, and forgetting that whoever tastes wine should not drive.
How many days
The duration is planned around your available time and what you want to experience.
We adjust the number of experiences and transfers to the available time, whether the trip is short or long.
When to go
There is no single season for food and wine. It depends on the region and on what you want to live.
The season changes what happens at the producers and what is open. Some experiences require booking well ahead, so we start planning early and check everything for your dates.
Questions that always come up
How does wine work with driving?
Whoever tastes wine does not drive. We design the day with nearby bases, transfers, or a driver.
What if someone in the group does not drink?
There is much more than wine: the table, the products, and the region. We design for those who drink and those who do not.
Can it be combined with a road trip or an event?
Often, yes. The table goes well with roads, events, and nature.
Where do you plan these trips?
In the United States, Europe, and Brazil, among other destinations. We look for the region that matches what you want to taste.
Can I go for just a few days?
The duration is planned around your available time and what you want to experience.
What do you want to taste?
Tell us what you imagine: wine, local kitchen, markets, producers. And who is coming, how many days you have, and when. We design the rest together.
