We think Pakistan deserves more attention as a travel destination. From Lahore’s extravagant gardens to the ancient ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization’s great cities and Karachi’s coastal cuisine, there’s more to explore than is possible on one trip. But our 13-day tour still manages to pack quite a lot in—live dhol music in Lahore, cooking classes and ceramic workshops with local families and artisans, visits to stunning UNESCO World Heritage sites, and much more.

🤫 Want in on a secret? Though its cuisine is all-too-often overlooked, the Caucasus region—home to Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia—has some of the most delicious food on the planet. We designed our group trip to the Caucasus as a way to explore the region’s fascinating history, otherworldly national parks, and fairytale mountain villages, but quickly realized that there was delicious food and wine at practically every turn.

🍴Join our trip to enjoy wine tastings, bread-baking workshops, an outdoor feast of wild foods in an alpine forest, a meal at a former Soviet canteen that now serves some of Armenia’s most progressive cuisine, and of course khachapuri—the famous Georgian dish that takes the “cheese pull” to a whole new level.
