Food and Wine Travel

Food and Wine Travel We design food & wine themed itineraries for Aussies visiting Europe - and anywhere else in the world where there is good wine, for that matter!

What I Do

My name is Karen and I’m a travel agent who designs unique food and wine experiences for Australians visiting Europe. I specialise in France, Spain and Italy, curating gourmet holidays, wine tours, cooking classes and villa stays. I’m the only travel agent in Australia with 30+ years travel experience and Level 3 WSET Award in Wine. This means you're assured of a premium quality experie

nce with the best possible value. Plus, I take care of every aspect of your holiday, from the moment you leave home to when you return. About Karen

Karen has been travelling the world for more years now than she can count, but more specifically for the last 15 years, to indulge in her food and wine passion. This has led her to establish Food and Wine Travel. If you are a foodie or wine lover, you are in the right place! During her travels, she has 'collected' an extensive contact list of food and wine specialists (who are now friends), each championing their local area and keen to share it with people just like you. Karen started as a travel agent in 1992 and has owned and sold various travel businesses in that time. In 2022 she completed her WSET Level 3 Award in Wine, in order to add an additional level of specialisation to her business. Karen is the only travel agent in Australia to have 30+ years travel experience AND hold a Level 3 Award in Wine. Her favourite wine destination is France, specifically Champagne and Rhône (for rosé). Her favourite wines are normally the ones hardest to pronounce. "I love anything that is a bit different Eg Hárslevelű from Hungary but really, I will drink most wines". What's on Offer

Wine Tours
Gourmet Holidays
Cooking Classes & Schools

The wines of Czechia (aka Czech Republic) are very impressive. Fresh, well balanced and super yummy. Mostly whites and a smattering of cool climate reds. Their flagship varieties are Palava and Welschriesling, plus smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Blanc & Traminer.

Wow! Just had my breath taken away by the incredible Jewel at Singapore's Changi Airport! Imagine a 40-meter waterfall flowing from the sky, surrounded by a stunning indoor rainforest. It's like stepping into another world - shopping, dining, and nature all under one magnificent glass dome. Trust me, this isn't just an airport, it's a destination in itself! Have you seen this amazing place? ✨🌿

A little jaunt into the Coal River region this week.....Frogmore Creek, Pooley, Nocton Wines & Every Man & His Dog. No surprises that Pooley is still the standout, and one of my all time faves. Although special shout out for the hand made chocolates and paired with paired wines at Every Man & His Dog. OMG Yummmmm!
