Gourmet Garden Tours features the finest of gardens and the most tantalizing tastes at a leisurely pace. Tour numbers are limited to 30 guests maximum; 15 for Italy. We usually take two tours a year, in Autumn and Spring.

Interesting and varied itineraries, carefully researched and chosen by us, take you to beautiful and sometimes unusual places not available to larger tour operators. Our personal relationship with each venue owner ensures we accommodate your specific interests and needs.

A leisurely pace and civilized hours usually enables at least two nights in each area with departure and arrival at convenient hours. There's plenty of leisure and shopping time.

Our personal care & attention results in us planning and leading every tour, on which we are available 24 hours a day.

Pre-tour gatherings are an integral part of each tour, providing a fun opportunity to meet with fellow travelers.

There are no hidden costs. All inclusions are shown clearly in our brochures. Just bring your camera to capture special moments and beautiful sights.
