Culinary & Culture Tours

From California's wine country to the world-renowned gastronomic epicenters in France and Italy, the world is brimming with destinations that tantalize your taste buds and feed your sense of adventure. Explore the best of these locales, tasting spectacular wine and delicious food along the way when you set out on a culinary tour by train.

Find yourself enchanted by the tales only food and drink tell as you travel. Wine tours show a marriage of modern processing and centuries-old methodology at vineyards throughout France, Italy, and Spain. Taste the fruits of the vintner's labors in locations beloved equally for their deep history and majestic scenery as for their wines. Culinary tours allow you to taste your way through countries where stories are best told through traditional dishes. The tapas of Seville, Spain; the cheeses and chocolates of Switzerland; and the cured meats, handmade cheeses, and pressed olive oils of Tuscany showcase techniques passed down through the ages, landing on your lips as you explore their breathtaking surroundings.

Between your epicurean expeditions, enjoy fantastic sightseeing opportunities and ample free time to soak in the beauty of your surroundings. Well-connected train routes that take you across countries or through specific localities pair with comfortable hotel accommodations in highly desirable locations to make it easier than ever to experience the culinary curiosities our world offers.

Cuisine & Culture: Lisbon & Porto

5 stars
“We had a wonderful trip! The hotel is Lisbon was beautiful and historic. The breakfast was great and the service top notch. I hadn’t heard much about VBR so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The local tour guides were so personable and gave us great experiences. The Douro Valley tour was unforgettable. I never would have found those Quintas without the guides. Definitely recommend!

“I would give vacations by rails 4 and a half out of 5. Every place they booked was amazing and they made sure to book what had to be seen in each city while giving free time to explore. Only issue I would say could be fixed is a little better communication to a couple of the exceptions. Better explanation of what we are doing.
