Testimonials From Happy Travellers
Custom Private Luxury Tours
Our clients are always surprised that not only can we customize almost all of our culinary tours and cooking vacations, we frequently create custom culinary vacations from scratch for our travelers. What could be more luxurious than a 5*-star, customized tour completely tailored to your tastes and interests? Many of our culinary vacations can be “upgraded” on request from the standard accommodation level (usually four-star) to a high class such as five-star or five-star superior. But we can also create completely new luxury vacation packages for our clients, such as a recent five-star private Spain culinary tour we designed for clients traveling to Malaga, Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, Madrid, the Costa Brava, and Barcelona with accommodations in five-star hotels and paradors. Choose a five-star, private luxury Italy tour to Tuscany and the Lakes Region with stays at private villas and five-star resorts. Or a five-star foodie trip to the Amalfi Coast and Sicily complete with private guided tours, Michelin-star dining, and private yacht cruises. Or a luxury culinary tour to Morocco, where you can experience the luxury of five-star riads and even a luxury tent experience in the Sahara desert.
Whether you are looking to be part of a small group of foodies exploring the local cuisine in the most luxurious way possible, or looking for a private luxury tour for two, The International Kitchen is able to satisfy pretty much any request.

FAQs about Luxury Travel
-
What is the most luxurious cuisine?
True luxury in cuisine isn’t about expense – it’s about exceptional quality and extraordinary experiences. On our luxury cooking vacations, this might mean a private cooking class in a Tuscan villa, an intimate dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant on the Amalfi Coast, or exclusive wine tastings in historic French châteaux. We believe luxury is about accessing experiences that aren’t available to the general public, whether that’s a private market tour with a renowned chef or cooking in a centuries-old noble estate.

What is the most expensive appetizer?
Rather than focusing on price tags, our luxury tours emphasize value through exceptional experiences. Whether it’s hand-selected truffles in season, caviar paired with vintage champagne, or rare aged prosciutto, we seek out the finest ingredients and present them in authentic, meaningful ways. The true luxury comes from the setting, the expertise, and the exclusivity of the experience – like learning to prepare traditional antipasti in a private Italian kitchen or enjoying aperitifs on a secluded Mediterranean terrace.
