Day by Day Itinerary

Your 14-Day
European Flavour Journey

Each day is designed around a culinary anchor — a specific food experience that defines that region's character.

Day 1–3 · Spain

Seville & Andalusia: The Tapas Foundation

Begin in Seville's La Alameda neighbourhood at 8 PM when the tapas circuit comes alive. Your mission for three days: understand why Andalusian food — its use of olive oil, its comfort with bitter flavours, its riot of textures — is among the most honest and satisfying on earth.

🍷 Seville tapas crawl 🫒 Jerez sherry bodega 🥘 Cádiz seafood lunch
Day 4–5 · Portugal

Lisbon & Alentejo: Bacalhau & Pastéis

Cross into Portugal and descend into Lisbon's Alfama district at dawn for the best pastel de nata of your life. Then head inland to Alentejo, where Portugal's most magnificent slow-cooked cuisine — stews, game, cork oak honey, olive oil — is practised at farmhouse tables.

Day 6–8 · Greece

Athens & Kalamata: Olive Groves & Mezze

Fly or ferry to Athens. Three days to eat your way through Greek cuisine's greatest hits — the street souvlaki of Monastiraki, the mezze of Piraeus, and the world's finest olive oil at a family-run grove outside Kalamata where the harvest happens in late October.

Day 9–11 · Italy

Rome & Tuscany: The Eternal Table

Drive north through Tuscany with stops at family-run agriturismi for lunch made from ingredients grown that morning. In Rome, navigate the city's eternal food culture — cacio e pepe in Testaccio, supplì on Campo de' Fiori, the carbonara debate settled once and for all.

🍝 Roman pasta trinity 🍷 Tuscan wine tasting 🥩 Florentine bistecca
Day 12–14 · France

Provence & Paris: The Grande Finale

Drive through Provence — stopping at dawn markets in Aix-en-Provence, at a lavender farm, at a restaurant serving bouillabaisse so good you'll understand why it's never been successfully replicated elsewhere. Finish in Paris with a final dinner that does justice to the entire journey.
