Gastronomic Catalonia - Fine food & wine, art & architecture

  • Eat well, drink well: 3-Michelin-starred lunch, award-winning chefs and quality wine producers.
  • Sightseeing ranges from mediaeval to Modernist art and architecture.
  • Contrasting bases: the centre of Barcelona and a converted farmhouse outside Figueres.
  • This cultural holiday also includes the lesser-visited city of Girona, the Greek and Roman site of Empúries and a day in the northernmost reaches of the region, crossing into France.
PRE & POST

Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.

TESTIMONIALS
A really good mix of gastronomy, art and architecture. We loved it and learnt a lot.
Gastronomic “wonderland” – what more can one say.
Our lecturer is just the perfect host.
A very relaxing tour but equally we seemed to do so much in a short time.
The meals were absolutely superb. One of the reasons I chose this tour, and also for the wine tastings.
