BIG ISLAND, BIG FLAVORS, BIG EXPERIENCES
AUSTRALIA
Australia is a country known for its harsh desert, luscious Shiraz wine and… Nicole Kidman. What often goes unnoticed is its multitude of other landscapes, from rainforests to tropical beaches, from rolling grasslands to its modern, urban city centers chock full of restaurants and cafes that can compete with New York City. Australia also has an incredible production of other wine varietals, from Durif to Viognier, and a population full of unique personalities and cuisines stemming from diverse ethnic heritages. Visit Australia and gift yourself with five-star tasting menus, New World wine, super fresh local produce, an incredible coastline, a forested interior, art, music, and of course, kangaroos! Join us for 14-21 days for a journey Down Under that will only inspire more travel. Below is a sample itinerary for a program in Tasmania, Australia; it is completely customizable and we are able to include locations on the mainland (Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay).
