Food & Wine Holidays

A food and wine holiday in Central and South America offers outstanding dining, that’s fast-becoming the norm across a once overlooked continent for food lovers. Peru is now justly famous for its extraordinarily diverse and original cuisine, and the capital Lima has gained a reputation as the continent’s gastronomic epicentre.

Meanwhile Argentina is a country that really knows how to live life to the full: steak to die for, vineyards harbouring fine wine by the barrel load and an indulgently sophisticated restaurant scene are just some of its many culinary delights. Brazil offers an array of world-class restaurants, Chile is a treat for seafood lovers and Mexico’s cuisine impresses with its authenticity and intense, fresh flavours.

Whether you choose to go gourmet or seek out Latin America’s tasty and unpretentious street food, there’s something to excite every palate.
