At Lap of Luxury Travel, we believe the best way to understand a destination is through its flavors. Our food and wine journeys are immersive, indulgent, and designed for those who appreciate the finer things — from vineyard-lined valleys and Michelin-starred kitchens to family-run trattorias and exotic spice markets.
Each itinerary is hand-curated to blend luxury accommodations with exclusive culinary access — private tastings, chef-led classes, and behind-the-scenes encounters you won’t find in a guidebook. Whether you dream of wine blending in Bordeaux, truffle hunting in Tuscany, or sushi mastery in Tokyo, we’ll tailor the experience to match your palate.
This is not just travel. This is the art of taste, elevated.
